When you look at the newsreels of what those men went through on the D-Day landing, it’s completely beyond belief.
Another soldier reporting to the mansions of the Lord. God Bless Him and Welcome Him!
I picked up a copy of “The Battle of the Hedgerows” at the library the other day. The Overlord planners had no plan to handle the terrain behind the beaches in Cotentin Peninsula. The GI’s had to find ways to defeat a well entrenched foe. Then, they’d bring in another unit and they would have to learn the lessons all over again. Bradley and Montgomery ended up fighting a war of attrition for weeks beyond the original plan for a breakout hedgerow by hedgerow. It cost a lot of lives.
