Sgt. Antonio T. Tremagno. serv- ing with an anti-aircraft unit of the Seventh Army in Germany, was recently commended by Capt. Jo- seph F. Tubridy, his commanding officer.
 The citation said in part: "At time when resistance had been overwhelmed in the Colmar pocket, you and your men were 8 part, and formed the predominant fire power of an advanced post advancing solthward in the middle of the night. This was the first such party to make contact with the French Army from the south.
 This mission you and your sec- tion assumed and accomplished willingly although at the time the prospect was not without some risk and the mission was one which ordinarily would have called for the command of personnel above that of the rank of sergeant.
 For the performance of the duty stated above by you and your section. you and your section are commended"

 Another German patrol came by few minutes later. The American held his breath and pressed closer against the earth The Germans paused for & minutes-then moved on.
 Hours later there came a thirc patrol. Sgt. O'Brien knew instinc- lively that it was American. He was right. Paratroopers were search- ing for Germans. And they thought they had found one in Sgt. O'Brien. He had on an American uniform, but dozens of Germans wearing American uniforms had infiltrated into the area to murder, loot and spy. Fast talking and quick think ing saved the sergeant.
