"you will do what we tell you two when we tell you to am I understood" the corporal shouted as meny men shouted in cadence.
"yes corpral" they all shouted
"you will do this obsticle course mager Alex here will be your training officer and the one you will deployed with" he shouted
"Majer Alex they are yours don't go easy on them" he said to me as he patted me on the back and then I salutes him before he left.
"right you rats this is not going to be easy or fun because war is not easy or fun AM I understood" I shouted.
"Yes Majer" they all replied.
As I got them running the obsticle course I got message from another Majer.
"Paris has fallen" was all he said before runng across the bogy ground.
This news made me worried that these men will not be fully trained before we are deployed I was glad I joined before the war I have seen little conflict but I have skills in hitting targets sniper I was called so I was training a groupe of snipers.
A couple of years later.
JUNE 6 1944
It was time. For oppration Overlord my men. We're shaking not out of fear but out of the coldest of the sea air that was the English chanel.
My men were not scared of death we have faced the 5 panzer devision and servived and that is a lot scarier than a couple of hundred men defending the sea wall.
But I felt something was wrong their would not just be men but. Mechine guns and proberly mines hidden in the sand waiting for a poor unfortunet soul to step or breath near them.
"Jones Roger dayle Spark" I shouted at my men.
They looked at me with their sunken dirty faces the look of shell shock made them look distant.
"if we don't make it out of this It's been a pleasure to fight with you lot. And if any of you servived tell your kids about your strapping leader" I said trying to make one last joke before facing the wall of hit lead the we now could see poping of in the distance filling the dark peaceful night with the sounds of screems and explosions.
"into the fire we will rise like the phonix" sparky muttered.
Phonix was our squadrons name because we always mange to. Come back with our lives only loosing two members thanks to the 5 panzer devision.
"5 seconds" the privet sailing us over.
As he said this the 50 cals stared to rain down like a hail storm we were still just out of range since our vote was blown of course to the right slightly.
But the bullets just hit our boat leaving it damaged.
And then crunch we had hit the sand but this was not the sand that fills you with joy because this was stained and litterd with blood and bodies and arms and legs some even missing heads.
The the fire started ageing we all made it to the first tank defines spike and hid I tried lining up a shot at one of the gunners that was the closest to hitting one of us but they were to defended to hit with such a caliber.
Then the Mechine guns had to relode..
"advance sparky" I say taping himon the shoulder I actually worried he was like a brother to me all of them were family but risked had to be taken if we wanted to advance and break the iron wall.
He ran and jumped behind a destroyed armed car.
The the gun fired again we were all timing the burst in our heads screaming and people were falling allround us bravingly racing up the beaches.
I turned to see a young boy in a hole who looked d younger than 18 crying and shaking as Mechine gun fried nose down all the new priverts.
It had been hours and we have only made it up half of the beach because we had to move slowly. I tried to save the kid but I was to slow as he stepped on a mine and we had to levre him to his fate. That if I servive will always haunt me.
"Alex" Roger said as he shook me.
"we can't move any further well in this direction we can't we need to he'd left a bit to get to the most breachbule part of the sea wall.
The gun fire had not stopped more men got moued down without a thought just because they think they are the supireour race just because they had blind hair blue eyes and some other bull why can't we just not turn to violence and war.
"we will go left then Hug the wall then the guns can't reach us but watch out for snipers the might not have been all taken out by the flack fire.
We heard an explosion about a mile down the beach the wall had been breached now our job can beging we were going behind further than the infemtry to help a local resistance to kill a head nazi that controls france for Hitler.
But we still had to make it down the beach full of land mines and barbed wire and not totally dead nazizes.
