More information
2nd Lt Meyer M. Satzow was a student at the University of New Hampshire before he enlisted.The third platoon, moving parallel to the hedgerow, were able to flush the Jerries out of some trenches and take over. The second platoon, moving ahead on the right, had only on open field between them and the Germans. There were 30 casualties in 15 minutes. Two platoon leaders including 2nd Lt Satzow were killed instantly. The men either hugged the ground or were shot, their blood spilling over the white snow. Company L was now out on a point. No Medics could reach them. No men could be evacuated. Some of them lay out in the cold, moaning for three days.
