Hi, I am Captain Winters, commander of the easy company. Today, October 5, 1944 a man returned to his patrol injured by a grenade near the town of Schoonderlogt in Holland where we were posted. So I decided to send a section of the Easy Company led by me to verify the presence of enemy troops and we fell onto a troop of seven men who were shooting with a MG-42 into space. We have initiated the battle and have eliminated quickly, but their armed force was much larger hidden behind the stone embankment and we had to retreat quickly on our positions in order to wait for the dawn for surprise it behind their position. During this battle we have faced two German companies made some fifty deaths, one hundred wounded and eleven prisoners, but we had one dead and 22 wounded.
