"The enemy tank knocked out a friendly tank and moved up the road and fired directly into the company command post, killing Second Lt. William H. Sanders, observer for the 929th and mortally wounding First Lt. William L. Davidson, the company commander and several of his men. This tank, along with another which had penetrated the town defenses, then drew alongside the first platoon command post. Lt. AUBREY moved out into the open after the command post had been hit to reorganize the defenses of the company."
