hi there
A German infantry officer is recorded as having broken thru Russian lines with his battered company, by virtue of the fact that all of the enemy squads and platoons he encountered were drunk enough not to be able to offer any effective resistance.In one instance, they crept thru a defensive position because all of the occupants were asleep, ....ed as lords.Conversely, a British unit in Normandy are recorded as having beaten off repeated infantry attacks at close quarters. The German survivors were all drunk and told their captors that they had been given lots of calvados before the assault.The British recorded that the Germans were shouting and screeching even before the assault went in....
regards
TDD
