Dawn to Mid-morn

I check the binding on my prisoner,then his gag as i prepare to take him to a grain silo on the outskirts of town.Seems the perfect place to keep our capture men, no windows,only one way in or out so only two men needed to secure the location. Lifting the german to my shoulder i carry him down then out to the silo. Just leaving the door i'm greeted by Corp. Steven Marlin,he too has captured a German.leaving him in the basement of the house he stayed the night in.Telling him to go and collect his man,i wait until her returns with him.

Within ten minutes we are joined by eight of my men,learning that they each have a German under control. Telling them where to bring their prisoners,Marlin and i start the trek to the silo. getting there we open the door and gently deposit our **** guests inside. Within the half hour the door opens and closes on seven more **** guests. Just in sight comes number ten only for him to stumble to the ground.

A side sweep of a leg sees my man join the German on the ground. before my man can get back to his feet the Geerman is up and aims a kick to the head of my man. Missing the german turns to run,maybe two yards away before a shot is heard and the German falls to the ground,grabbing his leg. My man's up and looks towards the rest of us,waving for some assistants, I wave two men to go and help, five minutes later the ten german joins his kraut buddies in our little improvised holding cell.

Four of us enter,Corp. Deerhurst going over to the wounded German, cuts open his left pant leg,cleans and wiping the leg with iodine dresses his wound. Offering the man a shot of painkiller,which is shot down declined. Turning our attention to the rest of the Germans we go and remove their gags. Each in turn spit at us but the last man actually thanks us for the treatment we gave his comrade.

From outside comes a shut from my men,going out we see a cloud of dust coming towards the town. A message comes in to my field operator phone, an armoured division of two Jeeps,two trucks and an armoured troop carrier is about to join us. Their leader informs us that they plan to drive straight through to the German border,I ask for a truck to carry our prisoners,which is granted

Gathering my men we walk ahead of the armoured convoy, walking right up to the main street across from the hall town we halt,spread out i holler for a face to face with the remaining Germans. A shot comes close and is answered by one of my men. A scream is heard then a body falling down to the street three building over from the town hall.

After a minute of silence the front door of the hall opens and we get our first sight of Major Hans Gunther, in a long coat with two men at his side.

"Major Gunther! I am Sergeant Ridgeway of the First Canadian Army!" I holler "We have already captured ten of your men and they are currently being transported to the allied encampment at Trexel. I am offering you this chance to surrender peacefully,you and your men will be treated as human beings should"

"SCHWEINHUND,we are proud Germans and will never surrender to the likes of you! We have the children of this town,we will take them and leave for the border,once we have crossed it they will be released unharmed." he holler

"Release the children now,unharmed,if any of them are harmed than i promise you you will not live to boast about it!" With that said i turn around to go back to our temporary headquarters. The German watch us take our leave and the armour troop carrier depart out of town by the way they plan to use.

Quick tally i come up with fourteen Germans,10 Canadians and 30 Dutch women in this town.How can i turn this into my advantage without anyone else dyiing?
