Little Nazi Officer Asks For Battle With U.S. Unit By ROBERT RICHARDS WITH SIXTH U. S. ARMORED DIVISION IN FRIEDBERG, Ger many, March 30.—(U.R)—American tank officers in this little town on the road to Giessen were nonplus sed. For a time they didn't know what to do with a little German captain who insisted he wanted to fight to the end—a rarity in these parts. The little Nazi officer had walk ed into a command post under a truce agreement and said he had 10 intention of surrendering. “What did you say?” asked Major Walter G. Smith, Ada, Okla. The captain repeated that as tommander of the outer defenses )f Friedberg he wasn't ready to turrender. He wanted to take his roops outside the town and start i real battle. This happened when Major imilh almost had completed a deal vith a German lieutenant colonel or complete surrender of Fried »erg. However, the colonel was respon ible only for the inner defenses if the town—where he commanded pproximately 1.000 troops—and he was unable to tell the German cap tain to quit if the little man still wanted to fight. The Sixth Division's tanks had by-passed the town earlier in the day and Smith was trying to take it with trucks armed with machine guns to support him. “To hell with you,” Smith told the little captain. "If you don’t quit we will blow this town down.” The little captain looked as though he were fresh from a Nazi OCS school with all the rules fresh in his mind. However, the captain's men be gan bouncing out of their foxholes to give themselves up. so it looked as if he were helpless. Since the truce still was in ef fect, Smith was unable to arrest him and he personally still refused to surrender. When last seen he was waddling across the fields with a pistol in one hand and a burp gun in the other. “He was gone when we looked for him. which was a great pity,” Smith said. “I was going to wait until one minute after twelve when the truce was up and then per sonally shoot him.” rwo Fortresses Collide; Body Of Gunner Jammed : Through Nose Of Bomber EIGHTH AIR FORCE HEAD [UARTERS, England.
