You are probably right, Mike, that a semi-auto rifle would have been of use IN the enemy trenches. But everything I have seen and read about the PD seems to be about the idea of "marching fire" and "keeping their heads down." If there was anything about how it would work when the Americans reached the enemy, I have either not seen it or don't recall it. I still think there would have been another name for "marching fire" with the PD - suicide.
