What time is it?!? Approximately the 6:30AM, but this e' only the conventional hour of the jet lag one of the D-Day of the 06.06.44. It's also a few minute before the 7:30AM hour of Paris. May be it could be the 8:10AM as 7:10AM hour of Paris too. There is no fucking way to understand what is it up on the beach. There is an heavy smell of vomit, cigarettes, saltiness, mixed with oil. The boat jumps continuously to right or to the left. Most ot troops have sea sickness and who don't have it, they don't feel much better!. Why we don't change touchdown point? There aren't any sufficient informations on the nazy's fireline. Is beach really clear? Probably not, it is not clear but the orders are orders, sure that it'll be difficult to land on the the beach... may be the things will not be simple as troops think. Things could be from bad to worse but it's better to have 2 or 3 companies rather than one and to download forces somewhere on the beach. With the 3 companies we will help ourself, I'm sure everybody'll need help and support!. Well, support it is necessary, and we could have tanks support on the beach!. Many soldiers are tired, have sea sickness, they hold emergency ropes to remain in feet in the boat. Well, 30kg of equipment for everyone on the shoulders it could be not a good idea, we will have to run on the sand as fast as we can. The large laughing and the lots of buzzing in the boat are over. Most of troops are quiet, nobody smoke, someone prays, others eat some chocolate, somebody try to drink some water. Those in the bottom of the boat speaks always about something. The boat go straight on to the beach, we are keep trying of the points of reference but it's difficult, the stress goes away, it's time to the action, but the wait is stronger than the action because in action there is no time to think about anything. unexpected moment, damn! fucked cannonades mortars and machine guns are everywhere around us. It' something like a rainshowers, There is a bad, very bad metal buzz, they are nazy's shoots, bullets are knocking on the boat, they'are waiting for us. It's the death is knoking on the door... Some Landing Craft get a direct hit, it explode and burn, then it sunk. Another Landing Craft starts to scatter white fog to protect other boats. Another horrible roar get the sky! We are in the shit, Oh God, nazys get another Landing Craft, shit! it's sunking... now it will be much harder to go on the hill. Ehi!, this fucked training operation it's too realistic for me!-Bullshit!, bad witty remark-Ehi!, Fuck you-Shut up!. Oh shit... doors are in front of lots of machine guns, that's really a fucked touchdown point! The Landing Craft's engine stops, an heavy metal roar open the doors, fireproof bulkhead goes down, here you are, the hell's door is open! Troops gets touchdown, but only some Landing Craft on the left does their mission others are under an heavy direct fire. In the middle of the sea, troops try get an assault formation, but nazys start immediatly to shoot them from the hill. Lots of soldiers are hit directly inside the Landing Craft, others are hit in the water. The sea is fucked cold, it freezes the body, nazy's shoots fly everywhere, there is no rest, it rains an heavy mortars barrage with letal hits! Damn!, This is a fast slaughter. Landing Craft keep to avoid direct hits, so they try to go back but the sea sand is an abyss for the troops, they are to heavy equipement, damn they go down!. There is an heavy and strong fireline, in front of the beach and to the righ of the beach, there is no way, no military action to contrast this letal fireline. There is 270 mt of sand over the nazy's fireline, no fucked tanks on the beach gives support to troops! No support, no comunications, no coordination, no more command chain! Few groups stay on the beach, others are just gone away, sea is coming, troops are gone, lots of them are hit or shooted, but they try to have repair under small barrages, or under dead soldiers. Only some bravemen in a very few groups try to go away from this shit, they try to escape on the left to avoid heavy nazy's fireline. On the beach there are some lucky men, they get the touchdown on the left of the beach, then they go to zig-zag to reach the beach and then the bluffs. They reach the beach, they are tired, it's a miracle that small groups reach the beach, well most of them are hit and they are an heavy choc and their guns are out of order. Depression, fear, discouraged, the defeat and the choc of horrible event get the troops They are still alive, but they can't help other colleagues and friends, so they start to think that stay alive in the beach is an heavy blame. It's hard to start to fight, there is lots of stress and there is no equipments or guns to use, this stops the small groups on the beach. Also Ranger/2/C are stopped. Guns are full of sand, equipment is broken or it's gone away in the water. Most of colleagues and friends are hit, they are in the water, in the beach, eveywhere, they cry, they need help, but nazy fireline is still heavy and Landing Craft are gone away! This hell happens for twice like a DEJA VU.

On DOG GREEN first wave have touchdown at H+1 (6:31AM) at 6:45AM it gone away, only less then 40% of the troops are still alive. Survivors are shooted, without organization, they have an heavy choc, no comunications, no command chains, they will hope in the second wave to have support and help. Second wave will come at H+40 it's 7:10AM. But for 25minuts survivors have bad time. Nazys shoot to everything, dead men or hit men, they explode because they have lots of bullets and bombs, and nobody can do anything to stop this shit. No light or heavy machine guns are available, no radios are working, everything is broken or under the sea. Here we are, it comes the second wave, it's 7:10AM but it's the same story.

  • Why touchdown points in the beach are in front of the nazys strong points Wn?! No air bombing (bombs goes too inside in the land) or naval bombing (too short time) get nazys strong points. Nazys build this strong points 5 yeas ago and they are full operative!. No tanks are in the beach, the get touchdown at H-5 (6:25AM) but they sunk because the sea is too bad. Only a few tanks get the beach but nazys hit them immediatly. D-Day planning have to a rapid fight, it was lots of critics about landing plan but nobody listen any suggestions. It was too very fast, at 7:10AM (8:10AM at Paris) start a rapid heavy fire for 15minuts then at 7:30AM the battle is over with heavy losts. Company of Rangers/2/C has got 2 LCA they get their touchdown on DOG GREEN & CHARLIE with 55% losts. Company 29/116/A has got 5 LCA, it has got 80% of losts, second wave the company 29/116/B has got touchdown with 2 LCA on DOG GREEN and it has got 75% of losts, others 2 LCA they have got touchdown on CHARLIE and it has got 70% of losts. Probably, no nazys (or very few nazys) were shooted in this battle.
  • A few officers of second wave survive, so they try to coordinate some actions with full of problems. Hight tide comes but nazys fireline are still heavy, comunications are out of orders it's time to take important decisions. There is no help or support, from anybody, only at 10:00AM (11:00AM in Parigi) survivors will see some american tanks on the left side of the beach, they will come from DOG WHITE. It's an heavy problem, it's time to go to the beach or it's necessary to stay in the water, just waiting for help? Hight tide comes, it's rapid and it's a could hight sea, there is a risk to could sickness or troops can go down in the sea, because a strong tide can take away people. If anybody try to run over 270 meters of sands, nazys start immediatly an heavy fireline in front of the beach and on the right side. What is it the right choice?!

    Nobody can resist in this shit.

  • All the photos are genuines but they do not refer to the DOG GREEN beach. They are relative to other beaches as EASY/FOX to the first big wave. Because on 06.06.44 photographers didn't land on this beaches between the 6:30AM and 7:10AM with the 29/116/A, Ranger/2/C and then 29/116/B.
