"Being constantly by my side they [Dec and Moszowski] both fulfilled their duties with total dedication. They volunteered to go on patrol with me in order to identify enemy positions. They risked their own lives to help me eliminate snipers’ lairs, when six Germans were killed. They were both lost while attempting to cross the Rhine River during the evacuation."
