Allied airborne attack on Couvin repelled

Hauptmann Whipperman reported from the battle of Couvin: " I read the announcment, issued by axis high command, that a para attack on Couvin was about 1 minute away. At the time, I was guarding the Andenne cp in Huy and not much was happening. So I aborted the mission I had created in Huy and made a defence mission for Chimay cp in Couvin, Chimay cp being the only ei spawn cp at that time in Couvin. I set myself up in Chimay cp at the top of the stairs watching the 'back' entrance. After about 3 or 4 minutes I heard the drone of a C47 approaching and the sound of our own aaa firing. I ran down the stairs and outside to look up towards the sound only to see 5 parachutes open, and dropping my way. As I ran back inside the cp , to take up a defensive position again, I noticed yet another parachute further of. I will never know for sure how many there where exactly. I readied myself at top of the stairs facing the back entrance. I could hear atleast 2 sets of footsteps, nearbye, approaching the cp from either entrance. A first para came in from the porch area and as he ran passed, I fired and saw the blood effects and then a muffled scream, a second para came in via the back entrance and again i fired. I am not sure if he died on the spot or continued on to attempt to cap. I reloaded as I could hear more footsteps approaching. A third para came in from the rear entrance and I fired on him as he hesitated just inside the doorway, and he died very quickly! Another para and I can't tell you which door but I got a couple of rounds of on him and saw the blood but he continued through into the room containing the radio. I hesitated for a second as I realised that I had killed 2 outright and that 2 were only possibly wounded and could be capping. I waited a few seconds more but could here no further movement, so, I ran down the stairs, out through the porch and looked inside the "radio room" to realize that the radio was actually up close to the near wall and that any capper would be hard up against the wall for protection. I then approached the back entrance to find that there were 3 ei para bodies, but still one un-accounted for. I ran into the doorway of the radio room to see a capper hard up against the wall and next to the radio, I looked at him, took aim and fired headshots, I don't know if he was watching the percentage on the cap or what, but he did manage to fire atleast 2 rounds, off which none made contact.I am only sure that if anyone took that long to aim at me, in a cp, they would have been very dead. It was then that a radio announcement came across, that city cp had been capture, and I realized that they would be on the spawn cp very quickly. I heard footsteps in a building across from the cp and saw a para heading up to the second level, I sprayed and prayed with no effect. I ran into the bottom floor area of the building and concidered my next action when It was announced that the enemy attack on Couvin had been dropped. A single word was spoken by the enemy, "why". I always thought that all enemy words were jumbled?????? I could hear his footsteps as he came back down the stairs and I didn't have to worry about determining my next action as he never made it across the floor to the back door. That was number 5 para. I went back to Chimay cp and began telling my tale to the only other defender I could see, Krater, when i heard another set of footsteps in another building adjacent to the cp. I didn't want to go back up stairs as a shot could be made on me through the four upstairs windows from the surrounding buildings so I decided to hold out in the now vacant radio room, ( vacant except for the bodies).I lay in wait for about 3 minutes but then a burst of gun firing, none of which hit me, came from amongst the dead bodies in the doorway to the radioroom, para number six had crawled in and was after revenge. I opened fire in the aproximate direction, as I still couldn't define my target,and then heard a short burst of gunfire and my life was ended. Para number 6 had killed me. But much to my satisfaction, I found out in the post summary that I had also critically injured number 6 and caused his death."
