Mr. Summersides recounts a situation where the force was threatened with being blown up by the Germans.

Transcription

They sent a patrol into this one place with the resistance again and we went down a short tunnel, railroad tunnel and we noticed it was all mined, they had decommissioned the mine. We got in to the end of it and here was this German ammunition, they were all heavy shells and aerial bombs in this deep hole that had been mined but there was no roof on it. And while we’re in there the Jerry’s tried to blow it up by firing shells but they were just high enough that they hit the walls, the inside walls and exploded and not affect them. But this guide we had, this French underground guide, he got scared stiff and crawled underneath the piles of bombs to get out of the way. Well, we went out the tunnel in a hurry!
