A German machine-gun opened fire on the group. When it did, the prisoners tried to jump the Americans. Guarnere shot them with his pistol. "No remorse," he said when describing the incident forty-seven years later. "No pity. It was easy as stepping on a bug." After a pause, he added, "We are different people now than we were then."- Chapter 5: "Follow Me", "Band of Brothers" by Stephen E. Ambrose.
