I will respond to you first, Actually, York attacked the machine gun position, dispatching several German soldiers with his rifle. By the time six Germans charged him with bayonets he was out of rifle ammunition, so he drew his pistol and shot them all. The German officer responsible for the machine gun position had emptied his pistol while firing at York, but failed to hit him. This officer then offered to surrender, and York accepted. York and his men marched back to their unit’s command post with more than 130 prisoners. He was backed by 6 other soldiers however, they lost 6 in the Argonne forest. The average age of the German soldiers was 15 years old. Of the 130 soldiers he captured, only 6 officers were over 20...they were all snot nosed kids forced into German service...
The officer followed his orders, and was in communications with his superiors. You must not know the interior of a school corridor. It is hallways and lockers, no where to take cover except for stairwells or doorways. Otherwise..open ground.
Thank you for your service, but it does not make you an expert...that IMO is clear.
