I think this incident occurred in February
because it was very muddy. We were attacked by 3 or 4 Tiger tanks. The lieutenant
who was the forward observer must have been put out of action because the
first we saw of them, they were no more than 500 yards away. We loaded up
with white phosphorus, depressed the guns, and started firing. We got one
tank almost immediately, a hit right in the tread, but the others kept coming.
We kept firing, but they went right over and past us. I hid in a gun emplacement
as they went by. Apparently they had some other mission and just left us.
