Normandy Campaign from June 1944
—
Fun fact: In the Normandy landing in the first hour, 4,000 men were killed.
I know or should I say knew some veterans who landed on Omaha and Utah Beach.
One guy told me he came ashore and all the guys in his boat were killed.
He said “I laid on my belly for four hours. Every time I picked my head up I nearly had it shot off’’.
