With IdE AEE LIN 11ta1I,
June 19.-Oelayed)- For
the most part Germans do not
surrender easily but every day
of this swift drive up through
Italy has brought some new
story of a cockeyed capture.
According to the 45th division
news, Pfc. Aaron C. Lybarger,
a battalion wireman from Bat
tie Greek Mich, didn't have a
weapon on him that night when
he cut across an open field to
lay wire to a company COM
nand post.
But when he skirted t h e
ditch and saw three swastika-
marked helmets cleaning in
the moonlight he automatically
drew from the hip and yelled
for the Germans to surrender.
Dropping their rifles and
grenadee they scrambled gu t
crying 'Kamerad! Kamerad!"
So it was only after Lybarger
had covered them with one of
their own guns that they rea-
lized he had drawn his pliers
not a pistol.
Now Pfc. Harold White Of
Mount Vernon, ILL.,, had plenty
of weapons with him the other
day-his rifle, bayonet and a
bunch of grensdes. The shells
were falling fast so he had
laid them down to dig a fox

hole with a pick mattox when
he spotted five Germans hud-
died in the blu S h es few
yards away. Distracted by the
shell fire, they had not seen
him yet.
Also excited, White forgot
all about the small arsenal ~
ing beside him and charged
forward, shouting and swinging
the pick around his head.
The Germans took one look
at the Mayhem Ben wireman
bearing down on them and all
five threw up their hands and
surrendered.
Tech. Sgt. Michael Adams Of
Akron, O., platoon sergeant,
was standing with a company
runner when a figure came
crawling cautiously toward
them in the dark. The runner
noticed it, but since crawling
was S. o. P.-Standard operat-
ing procedure-around there
he neglected to mention it to
Michael.
A moment later the two were
about five feet apart standing
with their backs to each other
when they heard a crackle in
the brush behind them.
Turning around they saw the
noise maker stand up and
fldget nervously, switching
from foot to foot and cycling
first one and then the other.

These Men Bring EN- Back Alive

While they still stared the
German swallowed nervous
ly, finally took off his helmet
politely and stood at attention
waiting for them to take him
prisoner. They did.
Then there was the unknown
engineer at Velletri who walked
into a house and walked out
again a few moments later
marching a German sniper in
front of him with the handle Of
his claw hammer - his only
weapon-jammed in the uncus-
pecting Jerry's neck.
And 1t. R. B. Morere Of New
Orleans who got cheated. He
spotted the German silhouetted
on the slope, twice pulled the
trigger of his gun and twice it
failed to fire. When he got it
fixed and started to draw a
bead again he found some So
and so had slipped up past
him and captured the guy.
