Prussian Army on this side.
While heading back to his own division headquarters, Kluge suddenly saw a fire in the distance.
He was almost asleep when the sight of the blaze startled him awake, driving away all drowsiness.
"Stop!" he shouted, and the driver slammed on the brakes, bringing the barrel car to a halt on the rough dirt road.
Kluge stood up in his seat—that was possible in this kind of open-top barrel car.
However, it was too dark; even standing up, he could only discern three civilian houses ablaze, unable to see any specific details.
So Kluge called out to the Prussian soldiers gathered by the roadside smoking, "Which unit are you from?"
The soldier glanced at Kluge, and probably because he didn't see a red collar patch, didn't pay much attention and answered perfunctorily, "We're from the 16th Division, getting ready to join the Crusader Knights!"
