 Late in April, the Black Cats crossed the Danube river east of Regensburg, two miles southeast of Strauberg. And on May 2--less than two weeks before the Ger mans threw in the sponge-the 18th had slugged its way to Branau.
 An illustration of the cooIness and daring of the Black Cats, de- spite their comparatively meager combat experience, can be found in the adventure of Lt,-Col. Dale E.. Means, an assistant chief of staff of the division.
 Captured during the nop-up of Strauberg, Means was held pris- oner for four hours. He attempted to talk his captors into surrender, but they refused. He told them, then, that his artillery and tanks would blow the town to bits. Still they re- fused. "Okay." Means said.

They went to see the mayor, whose office--as the colonel had known-was al- ready in the hands of the Tanks.
