was a barn. Both this barn and the
chateau were filled with snipers, and
the yard about- the chateau was
stocked with imujilnc guns. On (he op-
posite corner snipers had taken pos-
session <>f a lmkery. The little square
was swept by fire from all angles.
Coming up in the fog, tlie Ameri-
cans were stopjied short by the savage
fire from these buildings. The chateau
and the baru faced to tlie west on an
'•pen field, and the Americans de-
ployed into this field, where the fog
particularly ldd them, and from there
rushed both the chateau and the harlt.
More than fifty dead, found after
wards Jji the field, showed the sort of
resistance they had to overcome, for
these fifty were all American hoys.
The German dead were in the chateau
and the lairn, with a few lit the
