What I was saying earlier about Sgt York taking out those machine guns...well, it was the 120th Landwehr Inf Regt which at one time was a combined Div of both Bav and Wurttemberg units. 2nd Landwehr Div.



"German First Lieutenant Paul Jürgen Vollmer, commander of the First Battalion, 120th Landwehr Infantry, emptied his pistol trying to kill York while he was contending with the machine guns."
