The Nazi soldiers were lounging around as if there was no war going on. They were so calm it made me a little bit suspicious of what the murderers were actually plotting. My squad of men moved slowly parallel to the frail house. We stayed out of the soldiers’ line of sight and then opened fire on the group of men. There was no blood dripping from their lifeless bodies. The soldiers were decoys! It was a trap! Three Sherman tanks appeared from the woods with fifty men following each tank. We were in a very deep hole that was extremely hard to climb out of. The German men dispersed all around the house surrounding us so we could not flee the wretched area. They had us trapped and there was no way out. The German soldiers crammed us into the fragile house and with all of the soldiers inside, it collapsed. In my last moments, I had thoughts of my family back in the United States and how they would react to the news of my death. I felt tears rolling down my face as I left the war
