My dad pulled mines for the 79th Cameron Highlanders at Anzio so they could do graves registration. He says you can get used to anything when you're 19 . . . but it took him 50 years to talk about it.
It was about 50 years after the storm when grandad would gather us around his chair & talk about it. I heard the stories so many times at such an impressionable age I almost felt like I had been there. He didn't talk much about the bodies he mostly told us about the weather & the noise.
