[Video]Kosovo Gun Battle(Warning: Somewhat Graphic at the very
end of the clip)
June 14, 1999--In Prizren, German troops opened fire on a small
yellow car carrying two Serbs through the city center. Witnesses
said the car was driving toward a German armored personnel carrier
-- surrounded by people celebrating the arrival of peacekeepers --
when the passenger displayed an AK-47 and opened fire.
Troops on the carrier and a German tank returned fire. The driver
of the car was killed and the passenger wounded. A German soldier
on the carrier was injured.
A relief worker from the international group World Vision who
helped the wounded Serb said the man told him, "I am a Serb. I must
die for my country."
That was Leopard 2's first-ever combat engagement-although the main
gun has never been fired. I think somebody won the Iron Cross or
Blue Max for that one.
