A holed-up Nazi, overlooked in initial mopping-up, emerges from his hideout and surrenders to Lieut. Rey L. Rogers, Island Park, Minn. For ten nights previous to the Roer River “jump-off” near Linnich, Germany, Lieut. Roy L. (“Buck”) Rogers led his specially picked and trained Division Battle Patrol (now well known as the “Buck Rogers Patrol” or “Roger’s Rangers”) in nightly raids and scouting forays across the Roer to varying depths in the enemy’s positions, searching out the terrain and Nazi defenses. On the morning of the push, Lieut. Rogers and 18 of his men crossed again with the mission of clearing a 500-yard strip of dike across the river in preparation for the main crossing. The mission was accomplished with only four of the patrol wounded, none seriously. This photo shows the morning-after visit to the scene of the night patrol mission.
