Will our bunker last? When will they attack? Can the comrades of the infantry, who have no bunkers, only holes in the ground, stand up to the fire? Russian Pak is close to the other side and shoots at every single head, which rises from the ditch. How many times in the last few days our final hits have destroyed these guns. Again and again they bring new ones into position. The colossus still has material, ammunition and humans, at least it brings them to unfold in the focal points in an enormous mass. Suddenly the artillery, the grenade platters and the pak shoots behind us. Now they have to come. Scfort wind us out of the bunkers. A look to the left and right, the others are also out and see moments more forward, from half-left and right jump brown figures shooting from funnel to funnel, they come closer and closer. Flash-like our M G is charged, pistols are unlocked and the hand grenades are prepared. Well-targeted must lie the schpsse, we have nifty as much Munitign as the infantry. The last bullet ourselves, we know that. how long did this go on? It may have been hours, in waves they came from it, I don't know! All I know suddenly is that I have birth day today; that it is noon that my boy will come to school, my little Heidrun will call "vati Burtstag"; that in this minute my dear wife will put a particularly good meal on the table to celebrate the day.

It would be unthinkable if the front in the East waved and these Asians invaded Europe. It would be unthinkable if the Soviet blood terror succeeded in turning our beautiful homeland into the same deserted steppe, it would be inconceivable to hand over our wives and children to these animals. The attack was stopped by our perseverance. The Grena-diere set up to attack, took their trenches again, -toss squads went deep into the enemy positions, brought prisoners and loot weapons in greater numbers and we 6 men from the heavy weapons got the EC.
