"It is with a sharp emotion that Alain Fine tells the history of the catch of the peak of Braus:

"German was in ambush and drew on the American troops which went up on the road of the col of Braus. In the night a small group of the 517th to taken by storm the place and with killed German présents.  Floyd Polk made party of the group. In a German bag it found bread, Floyd took it and shared it with his comrades." Alain Fine remade gesture in remembering his friend Floyd."
