Lt. Compton gives SSG. O'Dell (affectionately called Sarge by all in E. Co.) his orders-"Take a squad southeast, and look for German positions around . Division HQ sent this photographer from Time Magazine over, so he's coming with you. Might want to bring a medic too, 1st Battalion hit heavy resistance on their last patrol." |
The squad moves out. BAR takes point, Sarge at the left, assistant BAR to the right, the rest in tow. |
The photographer steps out of formation to snap a side shot. Looks like Gerry's running up in the back, surprise attack.. |
The whole squad drops, the right flank opening up as they hit the dirt. The German goes down, luckily for the Americans dropping his grenade before he arms it. |
The photographer, back in formation, snaps a shot up the line to his right. |
