In the Fog, Two German POWs Heard Sergeant Rubin’s German. Then an American Fired

Two surrendered German soldiers stood beside an American pillbox in the fog while Sergeant Willard N. Rubin questioned them in German. About fifty yards away, a machine gunner could hear the language but could not see the uniforms around it. George W. Krummé was close enough to carry a fragment of the resulting burst in his jaw for almost forty years. 0:00 German voices in the fog 0:27 George Krummé beside the pillbox 1:23 The road to Spicheren Heights 2:23 Eblen’s counterattack and the captured pillbox 3:28 Two prisoners emerge near daybreak 4:20 Sergeant Rubin raises his voice 5:16 Front-line conversation versus formal interrogation 6:04 The unseen machine gunner fires 7:13 Krummé’s V-mail home 8:16 Five demobilization points and metal in the jaw 9:31 What remained after Spicheren Sources: https://www.trailblazersww2.org/Docs/... https://www.trailblazersww2.org/units... https://www.trailblazersww2.org/histo... https://www.trailblazersww2.org/pdf/S... https://www.trailblazersww2.org/gener... https://www.trailblazersww2.org/roste... https://www.trailblazersww2.org/histo... https://www.ww2online.org/view/john-b...
