| Other information: |
Panzerfausts were being fired at Younkin´s tank and we began to fire at the buildings to drive the Krauts out. I was looking at Younkin´s tank and saw a puff of smoke, then I knew he was hit. Younkin was the only man that came out, so I knew they were hit hard. Younkin was moving back and forth to either end of his tank and trying to work his gun. It appeared to be jammed and there was no way I could help him. Before anything more could happen, Infantry from our halftracks came around the buildings and took over the situation. We got the Medics up to us and found that all the men in the tank had been wounded and Tec 5 Mc Intyre had been killed. The other crew members, Younkin, Kapka, Hammontree and Worley were immediately evacuated. |
