The quote I think was, "They should have known better than to dress like damn Germans. We shot the hell outta them."

[Ovidio]

There’s a Fritzhelm on the ground. Under the gun’s breech.

[Low & Slow]

Also motorcycle with side car visible over the shield, and a round half in the breech. Interesting shot.
