z American Coptives
Carried White Flag
For Germon Colonel
BY WILLIAM SMITH WHITE.

Assoeiateo Fress war Correspondent.
AACHEN. Germany, Oct. 2i.-Col.
Gerhardt Wick, the German COM
mander OF Aachen, surrendered
formally and Internationally today
to small group Of begrimed Amer
ican soldiers, and later at prison
cage he broke down and sobbed.
The reserve which had bolstered
the slender commander all through
the humiliation of capitulation de-
serted him entirely.
1T was embarrassing to see the
guy" said Capt. Erhard Dabring-
haus, Roseville, Mich. He said he
knew he was getting a hot potato
when he took over the defense Of
Aachen and that he wanted to sur
render, but had no other choice as
a soldier than to fight"
A slight, elderly and stiff figure,
he came out of his last fortress-a
four-story combination air-raid
shelter and bunker with 8-foot
thick walls - at IL am, under a
white flag carried by two American
enlisted men who had been among
33 captives.
An hour later he was taken to
higher headquarters, where the
surrender was made formal.
Victor Is Humble.
The captain of the American
company involved was Seth Bolts,
Huntington, w. Va. Told that he
had achieved a great honor by cap
turing the man who directed the
enemy defense in the siege OF
Aachen, Capt. Bolts replied:
I'VE just happened to be on this
little piece OF ground where he
was"
The German commander sur
rendered without asking or receiv-
ing any terms. In his hurry he
emerged from his bunker 40 min
utes ahead Of the deadline set by
Capt. Bolts and 1t. Winford Chan
cey, Albany, Ga, for him to come
out or have his shelter smashed
above him.
When We entered the bunker we
found $50 German civilians In the
top floor. One of its rooms was
filled with German wounded. The
rest Of the captured troops walked
out Of Aachen in long, melancholy
columns of four.
BY dark last night this outfit had
fought forward to within three
blocks Of the bunker, going down
into smashed cellars and Easements
with flashlights to root out the
Germans. This morning streams of
fire sealed off the bunkers exists
and entrances.
Didn't Kill Anybody.
Capt. Bolts took up a station as
sniper but he said, Il didn't kill
anybody-you never do, you know" "
The German commander was cut
of and done for, and out he came.
Two of his officers walked behind
the two enlisted men the Germans
had captured few days ago.
