And it and and as I say, it's these undulating hills and small woods and fields and little villages and isolated farmhouse. matched

And you know, they're expecting to to bump into Jerry, but matched

There's no sign of him. matched

And at one point in that night, Roger Smith is up front. matched

He's he's now a section commander. matched

He's got a Tommy gun in his in his hands at the ready. matched

And he's conscious of just how still the night is. matched

And the artillery is is is still going over, but it's not, it's not the constant thunder that that has started off some of the uh desert battles that he's been involved in back in North Africa. matched

And then suddenly he hears little gentle whistling and matched

And um matched

The whistling is of that famous tune Lily Marlene. matched

You know. matched

And a moment later. matched

He sees the silhouette of the distinct German coal scuttle helmet. matched

And he swings his Tommy gun and pulls the trigger, but nothing happens. matched

And he goes, Oh God, he's forgotten to release the cocking handle properly. matched

Um so he hastily re-cocks and pushes the magazine until it clicks, as the German stops whistling as soon as he hears the click and and um tugs at his belt and throws a grenade. matched

and then leaps for the side of the road, but he's mid-air over over this stone wall when um uh Smith is able to open fire and sort of cuts him down. matched

But at the same moment a Bren also opens up and a moment later the grenade goes off, although it it wounds one man in the leg but but not too seriously. matched

And leaving the dead German, they go on, they don't see any more enemy at all until they reach this pyramid-shaped hill called the Cole Marabella. matched
