Attack
He lay in the ditch spread-eagled, his hand on the rifle stock. There was a ragged yell from the men on his left. The Germans were coming down the hill with fixed bayonets!
He crawled to his knees and began to fire. He saw a man fall. Suddenly, a Sherman tank came up from behind and slammed the enemy line with cannonfire. Now, every American in the ditch was firing. The Germans began to withdraw slowly.
He stood up and felt his body shake all over. This was his chance! With a last, explosive effort, he screamed at his men, "Move after them! They're running!"
