but trench, the SS had his rifle on his shoulder and wouldn't have time

If I was upham I would have ran up and beat the fuck out of the ss with my rifle butt.
But anyone can say they would run up and shoot the SS, but you have to realize its war, its alot of phycological shit.

My grandpa was in WWII and said there was alot of scary shit over in Belguim fighting for the canadian infantry army. He said he saw a german sniper and didn't know to shoot or not and all told me was we both made eye contact and look whos here now.
but not to get off topic here Upgham was a Translator and really wasn't ment to fight the war since he did not have any experience.
Bad mistake to bring Upham into a Ranger group who was gonna be stoping Romel's first wave to cross the bridge (considering the squad didnt know they were)
