TRYON MAN ONE OF 10
TO CAPTURE TOWN
With the 89th Infantry Division
in Germany.—The surrender of
one German town will always re
main in the memory of Pfc. Jase
per Piettet, Tryon, N. C., member
of the patrol of 10 men of Co. C,
353rd Regiment.
After crossing the river the
patrol found a small patrol of
Nazis and in the exchange of fire
overcame their resistance and pro
ceeded on to the town where Lieut.
Theodore S. Anderson, of Salem,
Mass., roused one of the citizens
from bed, who in turn routed out
the burgomeister.
Demands were made that all
able-bodied men in the town line
up on the river at 11 a. m. the
next day, that all soldiers must
surrender, and that every house
must display a white flag.
Sure enough at the appointed
hour orders were complied with,
the soldiers were taken, and this
is how the town of Neff was cap
tured. For a moment it looked as
unlike war as war can look.
