Fritz Langanke , at the time of the Normandy campaign, 25-year-old was an officer cadet in the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich. It was during his efforts to bring his tanks out of the Roncey Pocket that he saw some of the most intense combat of his service. Langanke was interviewed for World War II Magazine by George J. Winter Sr.
