Billing and two other German soldiers were captured wearing American uniforms, armed with American weapons, driving an American jeep in convoy.They failed to give the password when stopped and admitted to court-martial officers that heir mission was to locate and sabotage communications and reconnoitre bridges and roads over the Meuse. Especially trained for the job, all three had familiarized themselves with American habits and accent by mingling with American prisoners-of-war in Germany.
