On June 5, the company received German artillery and mine fire and towards evening also MG. fire. However, nothing of the Germans could be seen. On the night of the 16th, a French officer announced that the Germans had crossed the Marne to the right and left. The battalion then retreated. The troops were completely demoralized. The crew threw away arms and ammunition and tried to desert on every occasion. During the night, the company had melted from 150 to 60 men. Chalupnik and another legionnaire also disappeared and headed towards Melun. They met again and again completely demoralized French troops, who fled to the south. They were without weapons, oline groceries and without officers. It was not until the north of Melun that Chalupnik and his companion of French infantry met, who was still fighting for refuge. Immediately after that they met the first German troops. They were searched for weapons and sent backwards. Thus they reached Paris without hindrance a day later.
