English Translation
Blunt angles bend in the charred beams of the ceiling and let light yellow tree flesh light up at the fractures. Men duck deep on the walls of the narrow cellar. Regrettably, this rattle and squeaking of the grinding caterpillar chains! Large chunks of frozen clay floor fall from the walls. One side of the cellar pushes together. More and more debris breaks into the narrow space. The caterpillars of the heavy tank dig and grind over the men in a circular journey, and the huge masses of the steeling colossus press, press and tear on ceiling and walls.

Still needs to be repaired. The man listens tensely into his headphones. Still nothing to hear. "Ta - tata - ta --" clicks the key. Switch and listen again. — Nothing. - A man wedges a thick beam under the hanging ceiling with a few strong axthiebs, - the radio station of the combat station is coming in. Finally! "Ta - tata — ta such, click the button: "The ceiling of the radio unit is pressed in by the enemy tank ... radio operation continues ...
