Lewis Sorley quote Life magazine reporter Will Lang´s description of lieutenant colonel Creighton Abrams´37th Tank battalion headlong 58-hour-long drive to Rhine in March 1945:

Abrams and his outfit( 37th tank battalion )destroyed more than 300 German motor vehicles, 75 artillery pieces, 75 AT guns, 15 Tiger and Panther tanks, 20 "sreaming meemies" and overran a rear-area German hospital with 80 patients, three enemy ammunition dumps, one ordnance depot, one fuel dump and a German army headquarters where annoyed German lieutenant General ( Edwin Graf von Rothkirch und Trach ) and most of his staff were captured while still at their desks.
