Editing Battle of Petit Nicolet (section)

== Battle ==
At approximately 22:35, the 1st Allgemeine SS Division "Siege Chiche" attacked as the civilians were being escorted toward the boat. Mark and John Hugerinus Paap used sniper rifles to cover their movement. Resistance fighters engaged the division from the opposite side of the street while the families continued boarding.

During the fighting, an Allgemeine SS soldier approached John from behind and attacked him with a knife. Mark intervened and killed the soldier. Once the civilians were aboard, John entered the boat and navigated away through the fog. Mark remained ashore with the surviving resistance fighters and continued engaging the Einsatzgruppen force.
