Hanley went into the building and had started climbing the stairs before Jeremy noticed.
"Cpl. Hanely." He said to himself.
Jeremy got up still covered in blood and raced after Cpl. Hanley.
Jeremy caught up also holding his webley revolver.
"You're not doin' this alone" Jeremy said and continued to climb the staircase next to Jake.

Vierville de Cote, wth Gierhardt Wulf and Friedrich Dekoff
“I’ll do it sir.” Plitz said. He stripped off his M-40 and took off his helmet. He put on the issue cap. He only left his pistol.
“I’ll only need one man.”
He selected his man, a relative newcomer named Hohenstauffen who spoke excellent English. And they set about blindfolding the Walking Wounded who would act as stretcher bearers for those Amiercans too badly injured to walk on their own. In about ten minutes, it was ready. Plitz tied a bedsheet around a cracked table leg and the little convoy walked out into No Man’s Land.
Wulf and Dekoff observed them through a Scissors Telescope that peeked up over the lip of a defenestrated wall. The two Germans and the dozen or so Americans walked about a hundred yards out and the they stopped abruptly.
The two Germans put their hands on their heads as two American Soldiers approached, one carried an SMG, the other a rifle.
Plitz stepped forward and talked with the one with the SMG for several moments. There were some gestures.
Dekoff hoped that despite the thrashing the Americans had had earlier in the day, they were sensible enough not to start shooting. It would be disastrous. But battle rage could make men do stupid things.
Finally after a few more minutes, the Germans turned and walked away, while the two Americans collected their wounded.
Both Wulf and Dekoff let out sighs of relief.
“The Americans are not the Russians, that’s for sure.” Somebody said as Plitz and Hohenstauffen made their way back to the German lines.

St. Aubin-Arquenay
Slowly, cautiously, the two British went up the stairs. There was a click behind them…
Finlay, the Welsh Giant stood at the bottom of the stairs, his Bren Gun cradled in his arm as though it were a babe.
No words were spoken. A nod was all that was needed. The trio began to climb the stairs.
The hallway curved off to the right at the top of the stairs. Finlay leaned against the wall and took out his pocket mirror.
After angling for several seconds, he seemed to get a good look at what was immediately ahead.
He nodded.
As morton and Finlay stpped forward, a fisllade of shots rang out in the enclosed hallway, and a spray of bullets knocked a white spray of lath and plaster onto Hanley. The burst stopped abruptly, and running footsteps were heard as the NCO dashed to another room.
Finlay bounded up the stairs, two at a time. He glanced back at his comrades with a “whoops, I burned the toast” look on his face. He hefted his Bren and waved the two men on. They edged along the wall towards the room where the German had fled…

IC: Cpl. Hanley, St. Aubin Arquenay
Hanley, Morton and Finlay all stood with their backs to the wall. They all looked at each other and all knew what was to be done. Finlay paused and whispered to Jake "Ay, maybe we stood 'nade him."
Although it was a whisper Jake's words were strong. "He doesn't even deserve an end that good, he must suffer."
Jake then went to move to the door when Finlay grabbed his blood-soaked sleeve. "A bullet to the head will not make him suffer Jake!"
"Atleast he'll see it coming." Jake snapped back. He went to turn the corner when a loud gunshot could be heard, and the sound of a lifeless body collapsing on the floor. All 3 men ran into the room to see the German laying in the corner, a bullet hole through his temple and a pool of dark red spreading across the floor.
"Well now we know he truly had no honour." Jake said as he walked back down the stairs to his squadmates, followed by Finlay and Morton.

IC: Pvt. Jeremy Morton
Jeremy walked up to the lifeless body, kicked the gun from his hands and gave him a great kick in the face. He looked around to see the shocked faces of Finlay and Hanley,
"Well i didn't get the pleasure of shooting him so i may as well as get some pleasure from the Bastard." He Explained.
The anger had built up inside Jeremy's body and he couldn't stand it.
"I am going to make sure that every single one of the unhonourable, cowardly german assholes dies a death so slow and painful they will beg me to kill them." he said the anrger inside him building up to a level so high he was about to burst.
Jeremy stormed out of the room and started down the stairs.
"If you two want to come i am leaving as soo as i collect ammo." He said.

OOC: It wasn't my intent to kill off the Soldier you were pursuing. What I intended to happen was that he fired a burst at you lot as you came up the stairs, and then ran to the next room. I'll retcon it if you like so you can still have the satisfaction of killing him. Sorry mates.

That was mostly the SS who had no honour. Most of the soldiers under Rommel's command were decent. He made sure that the rules of war were properly followed under his command. Most of the time that they weren't followed were done so by the SS.
GeneralFeldmarschall Erwin Rommel
Caen, Normandy
"Have the 12th SS flank the British from the eastside of the Orne asap," Rommel ordered after studying the large map spread out on a table. He looked closer at which infantry divisions were nearest to the Orne and which ones could reinforce the batteries until the 21st, Lehr, or 12th could arrive to relieve them. The 91st was slightly farther than the 709th, almost on the other side of Normandy and the 709th could make it within an hour or two assuming they mobilized fast enough. The 352nd was currently engaged with the Americans. Rommel studied the main road and where the 709th was located. If only he had some armour that way he could slice through the Americans from their right flank like a knife through butter.
"Verdammte Rundstedt," he cursed under his breath.
The German Field Marshal ordered his signals lorry to send orders to the nearest infantry divisions along the American front that is not already engaged with the Americans to move in. "They are to defend the batteries and dig in until armour relief can arrive." Rommel straightened his body and knew he could not stop the invasion without his panzers. Turning to Feuchtinger he said; "Get the 21st moving and stop the British advance from reaching the Orne. They are the only armour we have that can check the British," and as an afterthrough he added; "I will be heading to the bridges to take command of what armour we have there." Which had better not be the entire division. He thought.
He knew that if those bridges were not retaken, the counter attack from the rest of the German armour could not happen. And the batteries and his men further west could not be relieved until they found a way around the Orne River.

OOC: I said stereotype. I know enough about WWII to know that it was the Waffen-SS who did the majority of dishonourable stuff, but as you see in most war movies and games the stereotypical Nazi is made out to be pure evil, and more often than not only a handful were, and they were selected for the SS.

Orne River Bridge, With Ox & Bucks Battalion
“Pincer Move!” Somebody shouted.
Major howard looked up and saw the mottle duniforms of a couple of squads of Panzergrenadiers moving on the flanks while the two tanks and about twenty or so infantry enfiladed the paratroopers to keep them in place.
“Displace!” he shouted.
Several Paratroopers rose from their positions and bolted across an open stretch of road to reach a position where they could have a chance to hold off the flanking Grenadiers. Bullets from MG-42’s chased them all the way. One Paratrooper was caught in the fusillade and went down.
There was no time to worry about casualties.
As if to make thigns better, a German Halftrack now made an appearance, backing up the flanking squads of Panzergrenadiers.
“This is gonna fold sir!” Somebody yelled at Howard.
He knew it was true. The Ox and Bucks had fought gallantly, inflicting tremendous casualties, but there was no way they could stand against an armored assault like this. He glanced down the bridge to were the rest of the ox & bucks battalion were placed. He hoped they were getting one of the AT gun that had come down in thegliders into position. It was the only hope they had of holding back the assault now.
“Order the remains of first platoon to hold the enemy in place while the rest of the company retreats back across the bridge! After they’re safely across, they are to fall back as well. We’ll force fritz down a narrow corridor and concentrate our fire. That first Panzer will make a 30 ton roadblock. We may not hold the bridge, but we can render it useless to the enemy. Go!”
The man bravely crouch-ran out into the fire zone to relay the instructions.
As the company retreated across the bridge, machine gun fire followed them, the bullets pinging off the steel support struts of the bridge like the tones of a hellish xylophone. They quickly took up hasty positions on the other side of the river. They were joined by another company of the Ox & bucks who had prepared some psoitiosn in case of this eventuality.
“Where’s the bleedin’ AT Gun!” Howard shouted hoarsely.
Across the Bridge the Germans were hesitating. More likely, they were consolidating their position, moving up more troops and tanks to make a proper assault.
Sure enough in three minutes, mortars from their Heavy Weapons company began falling in and around their positions.
“This is it lads! Make them pay!”
He changed his magazine, as a halftrack and about 15 troops hunkered behind the metal beast began to cross the bridge.
TAG: Rommel (Battalion CO signals that first bridge has been seized)
St. Aubin Arquenay, with Hanley and Morton
The fighting was mostly dying down, except in the eastern and southern parts of the town where the Germans still put up a fight. There was a long grinding burst from a heavy MG-42 position.
Meanwhile, the platoon of Morton and Hanley, which had already had a tremendous workload for the day, was being assembled for an assault on the Artillery battery just south of town.
The lieutenant gathered his men around. There were about 30 now. Down from 40 this morning.
“The Germans in this area have almost completely folded, but they are still firing those guns, and are tenaciously holding an MLR to keep those guns firing. We need to break through and destroy or capture those guns so that the landings can continue unmolested.
“You’ve got fifteen minutes to rest before we move. We’re taking this route…” he indicated on the map a side-road that had recently been cleared of Germans “…out of town and the guns are to the southwest. Once we find them, we can knock them out, and then link up with the 6th airborne and dig in. Exchange ammo and be ready to move in fifteen. Hanley you’re first squad leader now,. I want your men on point.”
He rolled up the map and left the room.
Finlay collapsed into a chair in the living room of the hosue that had become temporary Platoon CP. He was pale and there was a general agitation of movement around his hands. He said nothing, but closed his eyes and breathed regularly, willing away the stress.
TAG: Morton, hanley.
Vierville de Cote. Gierhard & Dekoff
“Kubel! Coming in!” somebody shouted.
A kubelwagen approached from the rear of the Kampfgruppe’s position. Apparently they were not forgotten.
Sitting next to the Rider was the runner, Sergeant Holtz.
He jumped out and saluted.
“Sir!” he said “You are requested at Division command, General Kraiss wishes to see you at once!”
he took a breath.
“This Kubelwagen will take you back to Divisional Headquarters.”
Gierhardt wondered to himself if that was good or bad.

Gierhardt exchanged a glance with Dekoff and took a final long drag of his cigarette before flicking it too the gound and stepping on it with his dirt and blood flecked jump boots. The weary, scarred young Hauptmann climbed aboard the kubel, settling himself into the back and adjusting the myriad of ammo pouches he had strung about his camo tunic as he prepared to leave. He turned to Piltz as he lit another cigarette, smiling he said "Dont go and get everyone killed while we're gone huh, oh and if you see some of those SS we've seen about for god's sake leave them alone....i dont want a repeat of what happened at Ponyri ok?".

OOC: Sorry, I've been absent for the last couple of pages because of real life stuff.
IC: Sgt. Terry Scubensky (101st leader)
Scubensky's half-shut, smoke drowned eyes finally opened as he cleared the giant cloud of smoke in full sprint. He saw movement out of the corner of his eye and turned his body to the left just in time as a shell-shocked German lined his sights up on the young American.
Scubs dodged to the right and heard the bullet rip past him. He hit the side of the tank and got the wind knocked out of him, caught unaware, and he bounced off. As he hit the hard ground he nearly dropped his carbine, but managed to keep ahold of it with one hand. He looked up and saw the German soldier stand up to get a better shot. The end of the Mauser was pointed right at him, and he knew it would be over soon.
In that split second as Scubs prepared himself for death, a BAR opened up on the enemy soldier. Scubensky slowly stood up and watched as ten powerful rounds ripped through the Nazi's clean uniform, splattering blood all over the ground and even the tree behind him.
Scubensky glanced to his left and saw the smoking barrel of the BAR and the grinning face of Private Haynes.
"Y'otta watch where you're runnin, sir." Haynes said to him and quickly helped him get to his feet.
The rest of the remaining Americans were clearing the smoke now and opening fire on the retreating Germans. Scubs looked over his tired, but determined men and then back to Haynes.
"Not a word about this." Scubs said with a quick smile.
"Of course, sir." Private Haynes said, smiling even wider.
The smiles quickly faded as a machine gun opened up on their position. A German soldier was moving forward towards the tank for cover and firing from the hip. Scubensky aimed down his iron sights and brought the German down with two quick shots from his M1.
The tank's cannon began to turn towards the treeline where the two snipers were, and a couple of seconds later it fired, making Terry's ear's ring and his body shake. He squinted and looked at the tree line to see if either of the men had survived, but all he could see were the splintered remains of several trees and piles of branches all over the ground. He knew he had to elimate the tank before it got another shot off, which he was sure the snipers wouldn't survive.
"Alright boys, lets take care of this tank!" Scubensky shouted to his allies. They surrounded the tank and Sergeant Scubensky climbed on top of it along with several others as the rest covered them. They began to open the top hatch of the tank after firing a few bursts into the machine gun port.
"Munoz, get a nade in that hatch!" Terry ordered. Munoz murmered a quick 'yes sir' and began to take a fragmentation grenade off of his belt as another soldier fired several bursts from his grease gun into the shaft.
As Private Munoz tossed the grenade into the hatch, Scubs heard Private Haynes shout that he was reloading, meaning most of their cover fire had stopped. The sergeant shouted for everyone to get off of the tank just as a Kraut riflemen fired. Munoz was hit in the upper chest and he plummeted backwards off of the tank.
Thigpen, who now stood beside Scubs, quickly found the German who had fired and nailed him with a single, accurate shot.
"Jimmy! Jimmy! Get up here!" Scubensky screamed as he fired at the retreating Krauts.
Mason nearly tackled the light-weight Scubs.
"Not me! Its Munoz, he's hit on the other side of the tank." He replied and watched as Jimmy ran off towards the critically wounded soldier and Scubs followed him.
"Stay with me, Sear. Come on bud, you're gonna be fine just wait till you're back at home eatin some ice cream and..." Mason said, rambling on as he tried to plug the man's wound.
Scubensky looked into Munoz's eyes and saw that he had died seconds ago, but Jimmy went on, talking and frantically working to save his already dead comrade. The Sergeant looked down at the medic and placed his hand on his shoulder. Mason's tearful, almost angry eyes looked back up at him and then slowly stood up and picked up his rifle.
Scubensky watched Jimmy as he moved to a position and fired a couple of shots, then just sat there staring into the distance.
"We've got those Kraut bastards on the run! Come on!" Thigpen shouted, waking Scubs from his trance. The squad was moving up, chasing the retreating Germans. Some of the wounded Germans were crawling and muttering loudly in fear. Terry winced as he heard a couple of gun shots and the pitiful, begging Germans were now motionless corpses, except for one or two who had been overlooked.
Thinking quickly, Scubensky grabbed Private Cloud by the shoulder and told him to watch the wounded Germans, then he sprinted forward to catch up with his men.
This is going to be one hell of a long day...
