War correspondents notes on St Lo sector exploits
American officers executed a sneak move to seize 750 yards of Nazi front line in the St Lo area. Capt. Hitchcock notes the Germans used patrols to fake strength, enabling a planned night advance that left them with three casualties and captured terrain. Capt. Bender's unit halted seven approaching Germans near hill 192, wiping them out in a coordinated rifle volley. Capt. Fritts wore a foxtail on his helmet, fooling German medics who mistook him for an Indian and backed away.
