At 16h00, a staff car arrive on the crossroads and was destroyed by the French fire. A German officer was made prisoner : General Kühne, commander of the 253.ID. He wore the orders of the main German attack planned on the 29th of May. Lieutenant Sanglerat locked up the general in his command post and sent the German orders to his hierarchy.

Some German tanks were destroyed by the French anti-tank guns but the Germans used self-propelled artillery (SiG 33) which destroyed all French resistance point. Some hours after his capture, General Kühne was relieved by German troops.
