That gaggle from the German 3rd Parachute Division that ran into Lt Bouck's I&R Platoon (394thIR/99thID) at Lanzereth did not exhibit a lot of adept fighting skill as exhibited by their repeated frontal assaults. Those 18 US men on that slight rise inflicted around 400 to 500 casualties on the Germans and pretty much destroyed an entire battalion of the German 9th Parachute Regiment.
