jtcm Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 This just in from Capt Broadbent, Sir. No, they didn't take the town, Sir. He had C co. with two platoons from E company, and some 81 mm support. Sir ? Well, he told me he gained a foothold in the town, and sent screens on both flanks, but they ran into a German company which had the same ideas, and... Sir ? To cut it short, Sir, he got whittled down on both flanks, and then while he was busy on that account the Germans just ran a platoon into the town with flamethrower support, and drove him out. Casualties ? Pretty heavy, his men got shot up pretty bad. About half his force wounded or killed, Sir. Yes, Sir. No, Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
