Robert could not understand the detachment the Germans had for the dead crew of the gun that his accurate fire had literally shredded the life out of them.

Post Script ~ Sorry Bob W not trying to be a kill joy but it was a quad 20mm flak gun he silenced I rechecked the book Fly for your life By Larry Forrester Page 308 has the relevant info on his capture and the event in bursting the barrel on the flak gun.
Not a problem. I was working from memory and too lazy to go upstairs and grab my copy.
