This must be the most challenging moment in Saunder’s life. A blank wall with no solution, a heckler egging him to surrender, the enemy with superior force and numbers. Yet the wheels in his brain continue to turn as he thinks of a way out. He’s not giving up. That’s a lesson to all of us.
who in their right mind would hide behind a tank of highly flamable gas. when cage was pulling it, he was using one as a sheild, then little john hid behind it while they were being shot at. ONE hit and they would all have gone up in flames.
Amazing that a portion of the Germans didn't go back up their trail to the top of the quarry, circle around behind our guys and poor it into them from the lip of the quarry and the rear.
When I was a kid we had to go through the railroad yards and past several really large propane tanks to and from our way to grade school. I was always scared that they were going to blow up and that would be the end of me. We also had propane tanks at my house for use with the kitchen stove, my mom was always yelling about staying away from them. She was a worry wart.
Interesting that the German machine gun appears to be a MG 08 which is water-cooled yet there aren't any hoses from the cooling jacket to any water containers nor are there any containers. Also the mount doesn't appear to be the Schlittenlafette mount the Germans used for the MG 08 or it's variants or either the MG 34 or MG 42.
You are right. While attempting to "aim" at an individual target you go into a form of Tunnel Vision and are oblivious to the rest of the Battlefield. My humor was that the Germans, firing from cover about 50 yards away didn't shoot the Americans, yet everytime one of our friends (Caje, Littlejohn, Kirby...) Fires his rifle he kills a German. In this scenario the Germans would have easily pinned down our squad and sent a flanking group around to capture or kill Saunder's little group.
I love combat but if they were this bad of shot they never would got out of German. Guy setting behind the desk don't know fist thing about welders too. O well not as bad as Fury movie released in 2015 with Pitt starting took on whole German army with one tank that didn't even run!
