(2 - 8) The Battle For Merkendorf

"In the morning I saw the German soldiers that we had killed laying there in the field," said Borotka. As the cavalrymen regrouped and searched the town for SS, German reinforcements counterattacked from the southeast. This time, however, by rapidly forming their ranks, the troopers had greater success. In spite of the severe losses in comrades and equipment - or perhaps because of it - Troop C pushed forward with renewed energy, sending artillery fire everywhere they knew the German soldiers to be and holding on to the small, but strategically important, village of Merkendorf.
