Fischer remembered the attack on the bastion was a turning point. Three hundred men were captured, weakening resistance at the citadel. ‘Englishmen escaping to the harbour area,’ he recalled, ‘were shot to pieces.’48 The 7th Company after-action report noted the reduction in enemy fire, as ‘we penetrated the citadel from two sides and split up inside’. British Lieutenant Austin Evitts’s signallers with brigade HQ were pulled out and made their way out of the Boulogne gate in single file, hands on heads. He was accosted by a Feldwebel leading a group of German soldiers:

The Feldwebel carried a revolver in his hands and a few grenades in his jack boots … and he looked at me with a face full of scorn and hatred as if he would rather put a bullet through me than look at me.49
