I smelled the sweetly sick smell of steaming sap and saw the runners shrivel and curl back as they had done on other occasions, until nothing was presented to the flamethrowers except the tangled mass of interwoven stems denuded of all foliage. Upon this involved wall the fire had no effect, the stems did not wilt, the hard membranes did not collapse, the steely network did not retreat.
The only thing this latter gadget did was to scatter more potential nuclei to the accommodating wind. I saw the Flammenwerfer, the dreadful flamethrowers which had scorched the bodies of men like burnt toast in an instant, direct their concentrated fire upon the advancing runners.

For the first time there was belief in a Russian defeat if not in eventual American victory. But the waiting Americans were not to be given the opportunity for handtohand combat.
