Väike impro Inglise keele tunnist...
...walking into the restaurant. There were two machine guns firing from across the street at the restaurant and he just walked in. The rest of us were pinned down behind the tables. The Germans were keen to keep us from moving. Although Jane entered without getting hit, he still had to take cover behind the bar. The sergeant major sent two men to flank the machine guns, but they were mowed down immediately. So we were stuck here in the middle of Carentan, pinned down with glass breaking all around us and bullets whizzing by. Then it only got worse when we heard tank tracks and they didn't sound like a Sherman. There was a Panzer IV coming from down the street and pulled up slightly left from us. The machine guns were still keeping us down, but now the tank turret was pointed at us also. A 75mm HE shell can turn the entire restaurant into pulp real fast. We had to make a run for it and fast. 13 soldiers, including Jane, got up and got out of the restaurant...there should have been 30.
Lucky for us, the tank could serve as cover from the machine guns and there was no german infantry supporting the tank. Seconds after the last man got out, the tank fired and blew up most of the building, leaving a huge cloud of dust. We who were left, entered the building nextdoor. There were now 5 bodies on the street and we had only 8 men left. The tank now backed up and exposed his backside and engine to us. Suddenly Jane got up and ran out holding a grenade in his hand. He braved machine gun fire and climbed on the moving tank. he pulled the pin and opened the turret hatch, throwing the grenade inside. He jumped off, ran back, but was riddled with bullets and fell right there on the sidewalk. Seconds after, the tank exploded...
