The soldiers were spread out in a half-moon formation with 20 yards between each tank.#2 The 3rd Armored Division was behind enemy lines, and their mission was to guard the road. They were to let nothing pass. The men were exhausted, and the Spearhead Division was earning its nom de guerre: the Third Armored.#3 The tank commander, Clarence, dropped into the turret and lowered the split hatch covers, leaving just a crack for air. He slumped into his seat behind Paul, his boyish face still creased by the impression of his goggles.#4 Around two A. M. , the distinctive slap of tank tracks arose from the distant rumble. The sound was unmistakable. Three tanks clanked past the blacked-out Shermans and kept going, and Clarence began to breathe again. But one of the tanks let off the gas, and began turning and squeaking, as if its tracks were in need of oil.
