A GERMAN ADVANTAGE

Maneuvers went rather quietly for the next few missions. Five or six soldiers were sent ahead now to scout out the area. The extra soldiers gave a greater advantage over the original plan of sending in two soldiers. Germans were beginning to confiscate Allied tanks and a Canadian sergeant went along with the group. He could speak German and warn the other soldiers of any possible threat. On this particular day, the soldiers worked their way around the buildings next to the marketplace. The Germans had been in enough towns that they were able to “borrow” Allied jackets. Replacing the German jackets with the Allied jackets gave the Germans another advantage. The Germans could get very close to the Allies before being discovered. By that time it was too late.
