Ik heb het volgende gevonden: Het verslag van een 82e veteraan Poncella
I was still shoulder high in the water and was pushing my way through some weeds. "No, it couldn't be. Did I hear a voice?" Pushing the weeds away as I walked, I heard the password, "
FLASH." I recognized the voice to be Dale Cable's. Pushing the weeds from side to side, my right arm hit against a hard object and I heard the click of a trigger. Cable hollered "FLASH" again, while he cocked the bolt of his weapon and put a round in the chamber. Immediately
I replied, "THUNDER." He recognized my voice and proceeded to give me Hell for not answering the first time. His rifle was a few inches from my face.
Een andere veteraan:
He headed for the hole where the 506th man was dug in .
I raised my carbine, aimed it, and yelled our password ‘FLASH’ three times – when he
didn’t answer ‘THUNDER’, i.e. the countersign, I fired, and he made a leap for that 506th trooper’s foxhole - I found out pretty quickly that I had fired at the 506th man and just about tipped his nose with my .30 caliber bullet .
