  1. Not to take away from Burriss' accomplishment, but this event took place in April 1945, but I can easily imagine the conversation going something like this:
    Burriss: "General, we are here to accept the surrender of your division."
    General: "Where the hell have you people been?"

    The conference the General had with his staff probably went something like this:
    General: "Should we surrender to these Americans?"
    Staff: "Would you rather wait and surrender to the Russians?"
