No response. [WWII]

>As the platoons with [Speirs](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Speirs_3.jpg) moved on, 1st platoon started to move toward them. Sergeant Martin made a last-minute check. He noticed Private Webb, in firing position behind a tree, not moving. “Come on, Webb, let’s go, get out, come on!” >No response. >”Well, hell, they were still shooting, so I made a dash over to the tree, which is just a little bigger than your hand. And I jumped right on top of him, because it’s hard to lay down beside. I turned him around and they’d shot him right between the eyes.” _______________________ **Source:** Ambrose, Stephen Edward. “The Breaking Point.” *Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest*.
