The Dirty Dozen. (The raid took place on D-Day)
It was supposed to take place in advance of the D-Day attack to create as much disruption in the German chain of command immediately before the landings.
I always thought so. After they run through the drill for the last time, Lee Marvin says something like “D-Day, and lets hope the invasion hasn’t been a complete disaster.” I watch the end of it tonight.
14?
