One of my favorite D-Day stories is how the USS Texas flooded some of its compartments to create an angle, and this allowed the ship to fire farther inland and support the troops longer

That one general who re-routed the whole Utah beach plan was an absolute genius, I’ll tell you that much.

Just a note: Not convinced then-Brigadier General Cota would be thrilled at not being considered a general who landed as part of the invasion force. His actions at Omaha earned him a DSC, and he was personally part of the first successful breaching team.

My great grandfather was part of the second wave. He met his wife, an english widow whose previous husband died in the war, while waiting to be deployed on D-day. Thank you Extra History.

Hey I know that plane! My great grandfather was on the pathfinder plane that overshot its target. He ended up wandering around the wrong part of France for a while and got injured by a grenade in a fire fight with some retreating Germans. They took him to building that was being used a field hospital, but the building got hit by allied artillery. He accidentally got shelled by his own side!

This is why I love the Roosevelts, missed landing Zone? Well, we will start the war here of course.
