They step down from the APC in front of a building displaying a sign identifying it as a refreshment hall for fighters back from Budapest, complements of the Waffen-SS. They receive hot cups of coffee (or some suitable refreshment). One soldier sits on a rock, eating a hot meal, in front of a sign telling vehicles to halt and report here.
