Alex is in charge of holding the bridge until reinforcements arrive. He's supported by a full squad of riflemen, a 30-cal fixed machine gun, and an anti-tank gun. Right now, as two Stug-42 tanks in, he wishes he had more men. As he sees the infantry following the Axis tanks, he redoubles his prayer.
Bullets fly through the air with a tremendous whizzing sound. Alex shouts "Give me some suppressing fire on those infantry!" but no sooner does he shout but that the Stugs blow the 30-cal men into messy gore and the infantry are dying and Joe and Farnsworth and Less are dead and the anti-tank gun is firing but the Stug shugs off the shot and the Kraut's are right on top of them -
And with a tremendous roar, explosions burst in the German ranks like firecrackers. Rockets fly in from above, dealing horrific death. A few of the infantry survive, fleeing to the other side of the bridge; the Stugs do not. The men cheer. Behind them, the rocket-launcher equipped Calliope tanks roll in. The cavalry has arrived.

As a German-American, I find your point of view biased and offensive.
