The Germans started strong on this one, knocking out a step of the paratroopers' machine gun platoon on consecutive demoralizations. After that it was all the other way. The Americans disrupted and demoralized the attacking Germans, preventing them from getting any further results. The Americans had trouble inflicting any step losses, largely because the Germans kept fleeing out of range.

After a step loss and two of the three German leaders deserting due to compound demoralization, they did manage to take out the other machine gun step on a lucky shot (snake-eyes on the '7' column).

One more German step loss and the Americans called for them to surrender, which they did with two turns left. The American position was never seriously threatened.
