From THE RIGHT FIGHT:It's a total crater that's created, in the earth on thedownslope just ahead of my tank and we are now mud-sleddingforward."Bucyk!" Cowens yells.I'm already on it. I am pulling back hard, and theSherman's engine is grinding it out with me. Butthe tracks are having no luck getting a purchase in themuddy earth as it floods away from us and we moveforward, down into that valley of death. I hear the guysgasping, trying not to, yelling me encouragement, butthe more I try to make the tank maneuver, the more itgets away, and we are going down.
