I regret that I didn't make it clear enough. The action is simple. the protagonist is faced with the choice of shooting a little girl or saving his men from a German patrol. He chooses to shoot, but that choice, forced on him by war, is unbearable. He throws down his rifle and walks away, a deserter. (Desertion has been foreshadowed as a theme.) The last scene on the bridge is the attempt of his friend and Annie to bring him back, but killing the girl has also, in a real sense, killed him. Thanks for reading.
