WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

And we've stood there, haven't we?

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

Yeah, we have.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

And that's a joint kill between Neville Fern and George Dring.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

Neville Fern hits a shot at the back and then Dring knocks it out.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

Yeah, it's absolutely amazing, this engagement, because by the end of the day, it is getting quite dark.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

They have to call it off because you can't have tanks

British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

at the front in darkness because infantry can infiltrate in the middle of the night and drop a grenade down the, you know, into the hatch and all that kind of stuff.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

So you have to pull back.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

So you just have to, they haven't quite got the village, but they've almost got it.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

They're on the ridge, but they haven't completely cleared the village, but it's just too dark to carry on.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

So they stop.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

But in that engagement,

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

That suicide charge, which Semkin fears is going to be the last for all of them, worries that they're all going to get wiped out.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

They knock out 13 enemy tanks for none of their own.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

Wow.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

Including, I think it's four Tigers.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

Incredible.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

Yeah, which is all from Whitman's

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

Heavy.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)

And it is extraordinary.
