This had better NOT be the immortal PaK from the airfield, lol.
Members of B Company advance on enemy positions. Apparently the German Soldier in the foxholes lost his will to fight when his squad was cut down around him.

Combined arms at work to finally bust this troublesome MG-42 bunker!
What was troublesome about it? I find one or two 75mm shells are enough to take them out usually.
It's position allowed a clear field of fire on my infantry and moving my M-10 up on the ridge exposed it to potential AT fire. But, I've been dropping smoke and HE on the two PaK's that I have spotted, so that hopefully reduced the risk to my tank.
As an experiment I slipped in another a small squad to see if they would take over the bunker again -- they didn't last very long.
Can you actually destroy a wood or concrete bunker?
Now I feel bad for the Pixeltruppen that had to step over the former MG crew in the bunker and man the MG-42. A couple bursts and then he took the full brunt of the PIAT shaped charge!

The hilly terrain of the Fauglia Pass battlefield has made for an interesting fight. Using the hill and smoke, this Allied fire team is assaulting a German mortar position.
A little overkill on one of my scouts. Three Stielhandgranate blasted Pvt Fawcett as he popped his head up to look for hiding German defenders!

Yes, you can knock them out, and they can catch fire.

WOW!!!
The Cape Town Highlanders continue to gain ground at Fauglia Pass.
What looks to be a final Allied infantry push, with tank support, at Fauglia Pass.
No immortal PaK this battle.

More like immortal tank -- my PAK put a 75mm round into that Sherman's turret and he still keeps on coming...
