On that date, during an attack on Kassel, Germany, the advance of Sergeant Langenkamp's squad was blocked by withering enemy fire emanating from a large building. He fearlessly led his men into the structure, killing two and capturing ten enemy soldiers defending the first floor. Their grenades expended, Sergeant Langenkamp crossed the street twice in full view of the enemy to obtain gasoline, set fire to the building, and skillfully placed his squad near the exits where they killed thirty enemy soldiers and captured thirty as they attempted to escape. Sergeant Langenkamp's heroic leadership and aggressive actions are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
