This water hole was the water supply of both sides - the Germans as well as the soldiers of the Lost Battaltion. On one day a Soldier of the Lost Battaltion shot a German who was just about to take water. After he shot him, the American searched the dead German and found poison - so it is most likley to assume that the German did not want to resupply his water but to poison the water hole. The combat range between both sides have been just about 25 meters.
