Then the battle over, the German soldiers decide to go over to a nearby village and grab a beer.

You're joking.

Nope.

Just walk into a bar and buy a beer.

What the fuck?

Yep.

The whole battle lasted 30 hours and Belgium would fall a little over two weeks later.

Every Nazi soldier, minus one, was awarded the Iron Cross.

In case you're wondering, the one who didn't did not get one because he was currently facing

punishment because when he went on the raid, he filled his canteen up with alcohol rather

than water. Dude's rock, honestly. That's so funny. It's like you would have gotten the isn't the iron cross like

the highest military honor that the nazis gave there is levels to the iron cross but the iron cross is

is important yeah so it's kind of like bronze star like yeah i would say it's like a bronze star v

like actual bronze star for combat slash silver star slash

dc somewhere in that spectrum and the one guy who's just like did the thing that everyone in the

barracks says they're going to do it winds up not getting it it's like whatever you might get an

msum fuck you just pouring out your canteen full of schnops after you get off the glider

no my canteens were just really, really dirty.

It's actually watered.

That just happened on its own.

It fermented.

Yeah.
