A German Escort Driver was one of two present during an escort which took place in Western France, 1944.
Convoy Encounter[]
After the looting of the Nazi Stronghold in Besançon, a convoy was prepared for the German Gestapo Officer and his contemporary. The escort driver was unaware that the Staff Car had been hijacked of its original driver and had been replaced by an American Spy, the convoy proceeded.
A mile or so from the burning castle the first sign of an issue arouse as the Staff Car veered away from his and the other escorting Motorbike & Sidecar down the N83, a completely different road as to which the convoys route was planned on. Quickly realizing this action, the Driver along with the other escorting vehicle chased the staff car down via a shortcut down a grassy embankment in an attempt to catch up with the staff car.
The two escorting Motorbike & Sidecars soon caught up, and the driver took the left flank of the staff car, as the other escort vehicle took the right in attempt to signal the presumed Staff Car Driver to stop. This proved to be a costly error as the now revealed OSS Spy thrashed the staff car into the other escort vehicle, which in turn crushed it against the mountain side causing it to flip therefore killing the Driver & Gunner. Seeing this the driver accelerated his vehicle with his gunner pointing his pistol at Jones, in quick succession the archaeologist leaped from the staff car onto his vehicle, attacking his partner.
The small fight eventually led his partner to be thrown off the vehicle whom was ferociously crushed under the staff cars wheels, followed by the destruction of the car due to there being no driver. Now realizing he was the soul remainder of the entire convoy group he went on the attack against the American as his vehicle plummeted down a steep grassy embankment narrowly avoiding trees towards a recently departed train. The brawl was evenly matched, with him managing to get the conspirator out of his seat onto the front of the motorbike before being booted in the face by him. The struggle continued, even with the Driver switching seats and managing to get a few bursts of the MG-42 mounted on the sidecar off at the American.
Eventually, like the rest of his colleagues in the once prominent convoy, he was also killed by the OSS Spy, as the sidecar section which he was now on struck a pine tree.
