High Ranking Sergeant York Candidate Talks 172 Germans into Surrender
Clark Lee reports from France on an American lieutenant colonel who led a daring surrender of German troops and liberation of 23 U S paratroopers and a glider pilot.

The colonel's tale details a tense crawl under fire, a white flag ploy, and a dramatic breakout to join American forces.
