Though I be the Lone Survivor

Task Force Ranger
On the night of January 30, 1944, 1st, 3rd and 4th Ranger Battalion infiltrated five miles behind German lines toward Cisterna, Italy, however, they were discovered and surrounded by a much larger German force. The Rangers had no heavy weapons and couldn't hold off the thousands of Germans and their tanks. The Rangers fought bravely through that night and into the day, but without heavy organic weapons, the battle was lost as soon as they were caught in the open. In just under eight hours, the battle was over. No more shooting was heard just the moaning of the dead and dying, and the shuffling of the captured. Only six men returned to report to colonel Darby; only six out of the 767 that began the missions.
