Several of the British Officers managed to organize themselves and some of the Americans to utilize an abandoned bulldozer to break through the shingle and effect their escape. The book I decided to read is ‘D-Day Dog’ by Tom Palmer. I enjoyed this book very much because of the way the author was able to combine the historic events of war to those of recent.

‘Rest in peace brave soldier’

Shortly after the bombardment began, the German 916th Grenadiers reported their positions to be under particularly intense fire, with the position at WN-60 very badly hit. Although the Rangers at Pointe-du-Hoc were greatly assisted in their assault of the cliffs by the Satterlee and Talybont, elsewhere the air and naval bombardment was not so effective, and the German beach defenses and supporting artillery remained largely intact. [32] I would highly recommend this book to other people it has an interesting story and it feels like it has multiple in the one story and talks about the other side of the war not the tanks, guns and shooting but the emotional side of it like death and tragedies. Who took part? Soldiers from many countries took part, but most were provided by Britain, the US and Canada. They were fighting against German forces on the French coast.

The F-1 draw, initially considered too steep for use, was also eventually opened when engineers laid down a new road. In the absence of any real progress opening the D-3 and E-3 draws, landing schedules were revised to take advantage of this route, and a company of tanks from the 745th tank battalion were able to reach the high ground by 20:00.

The original plan was in tatters, with so many units mis-landed, disorganized and scattered. Most commanders had fallen or were absent, and there were few ways to communicate, other than shouted commands. In places, small groups of men, sometimes scratched together from different companies, in some cases from different divisions, were "...inspired, encouraged or bullied..." [65] out of the relative safety of the shingle, starting the dangerous task of reducing the defenses atop the bluffs. Why did it happen? Germany had occupied most of Europe since 1939. They had murdered millions and enslaved millions more. The Allies were determined to defeat them and liberate Europe.
