    News Mention:
    Sgt. Carl De Bruin was in one of the outfits to last quit fighting in Germany. "The only way to be a mountaineer fighter" Sgt Carl J. DeBruin said, "is to have one leg shorter than the other." Probably no one will ever figure out who fired the last shot along the 44th Division front - but a squad from "B" Company 324th Infantry was in there pitching right to the last and as fate would have it, the last job was climbing an Australian mountain after some Germans who still had to be convinced that everything was kaput. We climbed about 1500 feet that afternoon struggling along at about a 45° angle, dropping to fire now and then, caring the wounded down the long treacherous slope. By evening the company had cleared the last Jerries from the mountain slope and a few minutes later the "cease-fire" order came in.
