the fallen winter soldier

the panzers sudden stop

It was a morning of September 1944

A panzer division had set of after stopping at a german occupied resupply station in the middle of France
As men loaded shells into the tank others checked for damage
Suddenly the front hatch was lifted up and two young german medics rushed over after being told so by a officer,

They pulled out the tanks gunner who had been ripped apart by bullet holes.

His uniform was something of beauty medals and badges had a serious shine and his field cap was over his face
The engine started and the trucks rumbled and shook everything around 

Night had fallen... And nothing moved in the woods..

Strange the commander thought to himself it's too quite..

Perhaps the Russians left !! Said the new gunner.

Maybe replied the commander..

The tanks trank connected with something

*BOOM*

the tank had hit a mine and burst into flames

The driver only aged 15 jumped out and ran for the tress
As the rest burnt in their forever grave

Gunfire of American soldiers followed the explosion killing any surviviors

The young soldier had no idea what to do his unit had been killed and he's alone
....

Only armed with a mp40 nearly empty

He ran for miles and miles before falling into a body of water and losing the gun

A American jeeps headlights caught his eye as he had caught theirs.

They stop and got out ordering for him to surrender..

He didn't do so and ran back the other way..

He ran and ran again covering more ground then before

Suddenly he ran into a wire that set up a flare that spirled into the air alerting evey dam soldier to roam that woods.. he looked left and right before reaching for a stick grenade in his german webbing

He pulled the pin before dropping it at his feet..

He closed his eyes and looked up

Before praying

He apologised to god

......... nothing? He shouted after thinking he was about to meet deaths door

The grenade had failed

He fell to his knees before crying

He knew he was fighting a man's war

He decided to surrender

He stepped in front of patrol of Russians and rose his hands

But it was to late

He had spooked them as he stepped out the tree line
  He was instantly mowed down

He fell to the cold winters floor

And looked up into the sky and saw his breath turn to nothing

He closed his eyes
