‘Sergeant, I need you to remain very calm and find Smitty or someone else who speaks German.’
‘Major Watson! Where did Fritzie here get that knife?!?’
‘It hardly matters now. Just follow my orders.’
‘He cannot hide behind you. I can get a clear shot!’
‘Not before he slits my throat. Please… put your gun away.’
‘Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t shoot him dead right now!’
‘I’ll give you three… One; he’s badly wounded.’
‘So what! He’s the enemy!’
‘Two; he’s very young, and very scared.’
‘That won’t stop me…’
‘…And three; he also has a grenade.’
