Then I saw a comrade from my platoon further ahead. He was carrying another one on his shoulders. And suddenly - boom,both were lying on the ground. Then one said goodbye to the other and slowly walked on. I ran after him. He told me: "My friend just died in my arms. We were able to say goodbye." I replied? "Yes, but I think you've been hit too. Up there." Then I said: "I saw it, the shot was fired from that tank there, on the left. It went right through him and into your shoulder. You wanted to save his life, and actually he saved yours." He considered for a moment, and then said: "You're right. I wanted to save him, but the shot came from the left."
