Description
During a fight, taking a direct hit was one way of getting out of a bad situation.
Transcription
I’ve seen us get into a jackpot (sp) one time and they questioned my orders. We had infantry all around us, we got in and I called artillery fire, our own artillery fire right down on my own position where I was sitting and we just ducked down and closed the hatch, take a direct hit but it was hitting all the way around the infantry. They had German infantry there, they soon scattered out of there then we were free, but that was the first time that our major said, I ever heard calling artillery fire right down on your own position, but we got out of it alright, not even wounded.
