the Americans from the Roer to
the Rhine was revealed recently
when battery of the 557th AAA
Battalion, commanded by Captain
Frank M. Pagan, formerly of Will
mington, captured a Nazi ack-ack
outfit nearly intact.
The story was printed in Rail
splitters," unofficial Army publ
cation of the division to which the
557th is attached.
Entering Kemp one morning,
the company noticed a movement
and noises coming from the other
side of hedgerow and found an
88 nm. flack battery pulling out.
Captain Pagan deployed his men
as infantry, the Army publication
disclosed The Germans, realizing
they were trapped, surrendered.
The story in ''Railsplitters" told
how the enemy had destroyed two
of their six guns, but Captain Fa-
gan's men captured two officers,
so enlisted men, four 88's and ri.
files and pistols to arm a com.
plete battery.
