    A Japanese soldier has the best description of what a full force amphibious landing from the USA looks like “ like thousands of tiny spiders gliding over the beaches and reefs we knew the gods of death have come “

    I remember a memoir from a US Army soldier who fought on D-Day and then pushed inland. He said that the German's were sending kids to fight and they were capturing them and sending them back to the German's because they were too young to take as prisoners.

    My grandpa was Irish who was a mechanic in Britain army. Throughout majority of his time in the army he was just a mechanic, cars, trucks, tanks and etc. D-day was the only battle he fought in which was for a short time. He drove a tanks which was blown up by Germans, he only surviver of the tank crew. His body was full of shrapnel and he needed walkers, cain and wheel chair to get around until he died from cancer in 1989.

    I think we sometimes forget that many soldiers " on the other side " were just boys that no hate, no ideology and most importantly NO CHOICE. Yes they were the enemy, but still human beings. As in most wars throughout history..the German defenders and American/British/Canadian attackers were just farm boys that had probably never even left their hometowns before this. I cannot imagine me at 19 or 20 stepping off that landing craft.... or being in German bunkers seeing wave after wave.... God I wish the world doesn't repeat another nightmare like that.

    A funny fact, aftermath of the invasion, americans saw who they thought was a japanese fighting for the germans. Turned out to be a korean. He had been forced to fight for japan. He was captured by russians. Then he was captured by the germans. He didn't have any luck...

    Imagine being a Wehrmacht scout, ordered to scout one of the beaches for reconnaissance. You were picked because you took English while in school, and your NCO wants to know what their logistics are.
    You managed to sneak up to their lines, and you're baffled. 10s of thousands of troops, supplies so plentiful they're sharing amongst each other in a jovial manner. Then the sentence you hear kills what little morale you had: You overhear one of the young men bring over a freshly baked cake from thier mother....1000s of kilometers from home while you couldn't even get basic food and water being mere hundreds kilometers away from home.

    One of the books I read about WW2 was Panzer Commander, The Memoirs of Colonel Hans Von Luck. He commanded the 7th and 21st Panzer Division's under Rommel. It's been a long time since I read it, but it was a good read from an interesting perspective. He was awarded a Gold German Cross and a Knight's Cross. He was at D-Day among many other major battles.

    Well, almost all of those drops were scattered all over the place. Which in fairness, was one of the things that made that part so much more effective.
    Just reminds me of that scene from "The Longest Day" where you see the invasion force coming out of the night from the German perspective.

    Ryan I have arguments often about the tank and is it still viable with drone warfare being used to such huge success!, but I always say a tank is a beast if apart of a land and air operation, and air superiority is huge when you want to march a long line of tanks towards your enemy like russia did !. So the bradley is looking good because of the non exsistant air support

    It's funny how only historians and high command staff say "with great effect" about weapon systems, but not the soldiers there seeing the effect...
    Not much that's "great" about the effect of killing another person, especially when suffocating/burning to death, even when enemies.
