What's this?

In the first wave at Omaha beach,many


soldiers never made it off of the Higgins boats. As soon as the ramps went down,the Germans cut them down with machine gun fire while they were still in the boats. It took a lot of courage to walk/run straight into that fire....if they made it off the boats.
