Huntsman and Pete, you are spot on with those statements. For example, as Dad spoke of and I mentioned prior, he and his group found out pretty quick about the armor disparity.
So, when they would come across chunks they could cut off something else and weld to the fronts of their tanks, they were all about that.
One thing the guys in the unit would sometimes have to do when fighting superior, but outnumbered German armor inside towns and villages was to run straight through a line of buildings to get a better angle or surprise advantage on the enemy.
They didn't like that much, and felt like the locals were suffering the loss of even more homes and businesses after the artillery shellacking that precluded their entry into town.
Unfortunately, this was some very dirty business they were taking care of.
