“Alas, all that sound and fury disguised the fact that on Omaha Beach at least, the bombs fell too long, the rockets fell too short, and the naval gunfire was too brief.”
― Neptune: Allied Invasion of Europe and the The D-Day Landings
― Neptune: Allied Invasion of Europe and the The D-Day Landings
“The ship’s head was directly behind these bunks, and one veteran recalled that the LSTs “stank of diesel oil, backed-up toilets, and vomit.”
