" One German sergeant wrote this account in a German paper: 'ln the burned out derelict tanks, scattered over " no-man's land " there sit Russian snipers, with telescopic sights, rifles against shoulders, waiting for one of us to show himself. Day and night and again day. There they sit and wait, with a nervelessness and stubbornness that only the Russian has. Their pockets are full of grain—there is an occasional bottle of vodka, and by each is a sack of ammunition. So they sit and wait. Godforsaken, but deadly dangerous, bohind two inches of steel —in " no-man's land.' ' " —A speaker in a 8.8. C. radio news reel.
