front Captain Siewer, who was kIDM
on May 20, had advised his superiors ia
days earlier, after receiving orders IA
keep at all costs the Lorette heishts
that this feat was practically imposslbla
because of the heavy losses sustained by
his troops.
Captain Siewer said he knew he would
be cour tmartialed IL he allowed his men
to give way despite the great odds against
him. Soon after this the German captain
was killed
This shows the superhuman efforts
Germany asked of her troops even before
Italy entered the conflict."
