The Sherman began to emit smoke, and the turret hatches opened. Two men came out, and they appeared to be badly wounded and covered in soot. I am sorry to say that one of our men shot them with machine gun fire from a MG42, which was a very accurate and powerful gun. This caused an argument among us, because some of our boys shouted that this was the wrong thing to do, and others were shouting that we must kill all the enemy troops in whatever way possible. This argument did not help the two Sherman crew men, because they were lying dead on top of their tank as it caught fire.
