"This info is regarding the death of the DivArty Commander
– Col. Pohl and his SMaj. I was on duty that day, had just talked to them in our
fire direction center. He was very well respected – always asked if we needed
anything. Everyone also liked the SMaj – they were a good pair. His replacement,
a one star, was not as concerned about the troops. The crash happened so fast we
couldn’t get to them – the pilot and co-pilot were able to get out before the
chopper caught fire. Anyway, they named a bridge after him – I didn’t know
that." |
