Tales from the front ...

Private Igor Yatsenko - flame-thrower operator

While the rest of his platoon pinned the enemy with fire , private Yatsenko flanked the buildings and forced the enemy to retreat ( on fire)

 After securing the remaining buildings , the platoon had a short but well earned rest ... until German reinforcements came in the form of a half track ..... from within the building he had earlier liberated ... Yatsenko set the halftack ablaze , the burning , out of control vehicle crashing into an out building , demolishing it .

Such an epic fight in a larger battle , pleased with the outcome , I left Yatsenko's platoon to enjoy some well earned R&R and a bottle of schnaps they liberated earlier , unfortunately the building Yatsenko was relaxing in , collapsed while I was attending to another section of the battle ... killing poor Igor outright

Feel free to add your own tales of war

That's too bad about pvt.Yatsenko . 
Maybe He should have put the schnaps aside till he was in a quieter section of the front or at least turned off the flamethrower before He got drunk and passed out

..... or at least turned off the flamethrower before He got drunk and passed out

R.I.P Flame-thrower dude  .... after a hard day ...umm ..setting fire to people ... all he wanted was a place to relax .
