March 7-11, 1945, Company C, 656th Tank Destroyer Battalion, U.S. Army. Led his platoon across the Indendorf Bridge under cover of darkness. The leading tank destroyer broke through the plants of the bridge thus delaying on-coming traffic, the flow of which was so vital in expanding the newly acquired bridgehead. Realizing that unless the destroyer was extricated immediately all traffic on the bridge would be delayed, he planned and supervised in the successful extraction of the immobilized destroyer at the most critical time.
