YANKEE RETREAT
TERRIBLEORDEAL
Division Cut to Pieces In
Seven Day Back-track
Survivors Tell Experience
By J. Edward Murray
United Press Correspondent
Allied Headquarters, Paria,
Dec. 29 (U.PJ The American
retreat before the German of
fensive was terrible.
Two weather-beaten, weary
GI's who came down from their
last foxholes between embat
tled Bastogne and Neufchateau
couldn't remember today all the
defensive lines where they were
battered and beaten and out
numbered.
Ordeal Recalled
Memories of that noise,
misery, cold, and death kept
flooding into their minds, in
terrupting their story. But they
stood, shy and unbelieving In
the safety of this headquarters
press room and remembered
enough to prove that war has
changed for the worse since
Sherman's day.
Staff Sgt. James H. Williams
of Harrisburg, Pa., and PFC
Abraham Rich of Queens, N, Y.,
said their American division
took the impact of the surging
German attack east of Clervaux
in Luxembourg, and was cut to
pieces in a seven-day retreat,
The refrain of Williams slow,
deliberate 45-minute talk was:
We killed Germans."
Tragic Story
His was a tragic story of de
fense lines dug and held and
then lost during seven terrible
days when his communications
platoon of a headquarters com
pany lost all but 14 ot its 43
men. '
But the Pennsylvania ser
geant was ready with a note of
defiance: "I accounted for six
Germans 1 know of and I hope
to hell they are dead," he
snapped.
Rich s story was almost tne
same a story of holding as long
as they could. He said his GI
rifle company was virtually
helpless against Tiger tanks.
Those seven days have made
Williams look older than his 34
years probably because in all
that time he had only one hour
ot sleep.
"When the enemy was con
tacted on the afternoon of Dec.
17, our division received an or
der to attack," Williams redated.
"But the order was unnecessary.
We were already fighting like
hell."
Naxls Like Craiy
The Germans, he said, fought
like maniacs . . . yelling, scream
ing, firing small arms mortars,
tanks, artillery, hand grenades,
anti-tank weapons and even
flares everything at point
blank range.
"We took It and fired back
with everything we had," Wil
liams said. ' "But finally Ger
man infantry, riding on tanks,
stormed our command post like
a bunch of drunks all hopped
up."
At midnight after the first
day's fighting, the American
units were surrounded. Then
came the order to break up into
groups of 12 or 15 men and in
filtrate to the rear, crawling
for what seemed endless miles
on their bellies, scaling cliffs,
and swimming icy rivers, and
always fighting off the oncom
ing .Nazis.

Nazis Murder Captive Yanks,
Stomp Faces With Hobnails
By Boyd Lewis
United Press Correspondent
With U. S. Forces on Western
Front, Dec. 29 (U.R) Ameri
can army officials announced
today that Nazi SS guardsmen
shot down in cold blood Unit
ed States lieutenant and four
doughboys captured west of
Bastogne and then stomped
their faces with hobnailed boots.
Disclosing another authenti
cated case of the Germans mur
dering their prisoners, authori
ties said the report had been
verified, and tallied with the
announced policy of the SS
Elite guard In this campaign.
The only survivor of the
ruthless slaughter was wounded
badly, but managed to crawl a
tortuous mile and a half to the
American lines.
The six-man patrol was sur
rounded and forced to surren
der on the night of Dee. 17 In
the area west of Bastogne, Bel

where an American force was
encircled and now has been re

The survivor was marked for
death with his companions after
their German captors had ques

hail of bullets crumpled them to
