Fourth day
Slept all day long, but could hear

Fifth day

using 1t as q shelter. One gets hit
and puts up quite an argument
Finally darkness came and they left.
Sixth day-Nothing much in the
morning, but in the afternoon hear
voices just outside. Make out the
voices and they are Americans. Beg
them to take me out, 50 they send
an aid man at dark and I am taken
out. Thank God I am safe at last.
That's Sergt. Orlando's story, but

so brilliant on the water 1t hurt the
mems eyes.
An ammunition dump fired by an
antitank gun during the afternoon
was burning. sending up towering
pillars of flames and shaking the
earth with explosions. It gave the
enemy additional light for direct
observation.
At 1925 pm. came this message
from a walkie-talkie radio on the
Rhine's east bank: - blank COM
pany across. No fire received at all.
Everything quiet"
More men started across. Their
long boats danced crazily on the wa
ter, which reflected the orange glow
Of fires on the east bank.
We've either surprised hell out
of them. or they don't have it," said
Capt. Raymond Bitney of Bloomer,
Wis.
Maybe it's BOTH" added Capt.
Tober T. Gill of Charlotte, N. C.
This is like picnic" chimed in
Pfc. F. B. Hibbs of Davenport, Iowa.
Il crossed the Saar and the Moselle
and this looks easy"
But about that time the picnic
ended. German burp guns on the
other side cracked. That was 20
minutes after the first doughboys
pulled ashore.
Things began popping then all
along the Rhine. A couple of ma
| chine guns fired blue tracers our
way. They didn't last long.
From the east bank came blood
curdling screams as the doughboys
charged two enemy nests.
That was Heinie," commented
Pfc. Evans Huffstetler of Charlotte
N. G. They all do that when they
get it-like stuck pigs"
Capt. Harry (Pete) Smith OF
Georgetown, KY, led the first wave
| across.
The first Nazi captives told 1t,
Stephen Duke, Cleveland, that they
had been dumped on the river bank
two days ago and they did not even
know the number of their regiment.
Asked why they did not shoot, they
replied: I'VE were eating"
Two hours after the crossing the
Germans opened up with mortars
and antitank shells that began
slamming into American positions on
the banks. A mortar tore q chunk
out OF the command post cottage
and shells crashed into the yard,
covering with debris the men who
had hurried outside.
Our artillery erupted into action
and gave the Germans a hundred
for one.
