Alexander White - The advantages of fighting in the mountains
Transcript: A forest and a mountain is, if somebody tried to catch you, they have to go up. You look down. You have a much more advantage looking down than trying to go - first of all, you got to have your breath taken. With each breath, you get weaker. By the time you get to the top, you're fairly exhausted. You can't fight. I'm up there, watching you with my binocular, how progress you make, how much, how many of you, are you're making headway. If you get, got into my eyesight, my gun sight, I'll take you out! All it needs is one bullet -- it takes you out. We were pretty good at shooting, so you have much more advantage in the mountains. That's why the Germans were afraid to go up in the mountains. They stayed on the main highway and, if they are mechanized. Otherwise, they were easy potshots.
