Editor’s note: this brief story and photographs may relate to the account given by Troop A officer Lt. Gus Mose Blass II (0551550) about the capture of a Tiger tank and crew, which is detailed here.
These soldiers were not like the ordinary infantry. They were tough and arrogant. There was an aura about them that was frightening. I asked the GI that was guarding them to turn the Sergeant around so I could take pictures. He probably thought he was going to be shot.
So I did it with my little camera. You could almost feel their anguish. They were up against the wall, so to speak.
