Indignant German sniper captured amid hedgerow firefight in France
In France with the AEF on July 21 a drunken German sniper wandered into an American hedge-row post and was captured after refusing a drink. The action escalated as German artillery shelled the area, with Staff Sgt Home Molina of Laredo Texas and Pvt John H Howard of Bradford Illinois taking key actions. Howard narrowly escaped a Nazi tank and survived by playing dead while an American tank destroyer knocked out the enemy tank. German prisoners were later seized by frontline medics and the two sides began to separate after a night in a French farm house.
