the road to take shelter in ditch
because of a heavy artillery bar
rage, they found two badly wound
ed GIs crouched in the ditch and
added them to the jeep personnel.
After arriving at the bivouac area
and finding no guard, Sergt. Bos-
wells group decided to leave their
prisoners and wounded In the. next
town. Just as they were starting,
however, q figure loomed out of the
darkness and in perfect English
ordered them to halt.
Thinking 1t was the guard they
had been looking for, Pfc. Bruce /.
Snoot, Woodstock, Va, jumped
from the jeep to give the password.
Then he saw the German helmet.
Before the Nazi had time to dodge,
Pvt. Snoot had smashed him
across the face with his rifle butt.
"It was like cracking eggs"

opened up with his burp gun, but
