“Da drecht sich Hauptmann von Lewinskiy als erster. Kopfschuss von oben, Also Baumschützen. Ich bewundere den Mut dieser Baumschützen. Einer wird erkannt. Der Sanitäter schoss ihn mit der Pistole herunter.”
Cougar, if I’m translating this correctly, the company medic shot one of the snipers with his pistol. Seems the German Sanitater were also considered combat troops.
That’s how it reads to me. Basically he is saying that he admires the bravery of these snipers up in the trees (for being in a vulnerable position I would guess) and then the medic shot him out of the tree with his pistol.
