loving you always ♥

Late summer 1944, after the invasion of Normandy by the Allied forces the front lines stalled at along the Meuse river and just beyond Antwerp in Holland. In Holland was the 21st Allied Army Group commanded by Gen. Montgomery. Gen. Bernard Montgomery was a famous general for defeating the German Afrika Korps commanded by Gen. Erwin Rommal in the sands of North Africa. American Gen. George S. Patton commands the armies along the Muese river and demands supplies so he can cross into Germany. In supreme command is General Eisenhower of all allied forces in Europe. Gen. Montgomery called Gen. Eisenhower to his HQ in Belgium to present a plan to out flank the formidable Rhine river and invade the Rhur river valley where all of Germany's industry is to end the war.

I leaped from the c-47 only to realise the flak shot it down just seconds later. "How bloody lucky i was to jump out" Well we missed the dropzone and we've drafted deep into enemy territory. Just a couple of yards away were enemy mg42 emplacements and some munitions stockpiles over at the bunker. Had a greased landing onto the grasslands just beside the woods. unpacked my chutes, unbuckle my harness and it was then i realise i dropped my legbag when i left the c-47. Loaded my M1 garand, checked my packs and got moving. I had my K rations in there as well as some garand ammo and my medikit over at my left legbag. Least i still have 2 morphines to stand by in case i was shot somewhere in normandy. "Thunder!" a faint voice from the woods. "crash" i answered. and there was sergeant Ramiraz of the 3rd platoon from the 506 PIR with his soldiers. "we've been spread out too far, missed the drop zones, surrounded by the Germans" So we rallied up to the sides of the woods, check on Ramiraz's map and found our location. We were 2 miles across the dropzone and a half a mile across the railway. over at the railway, we caught up with a few other guys from the 2nd platoon. And there, Captain winters, private Wayne and the others were there too. " First squad, on me!, 2nd platoon, take the left flank, Sargent Ramiraz will lead the way. Eldwin, take the right flank" said Winters. " Alright i want slow movements and keep up with the pace" I said to my squad.

Few miles up, you'll meet up with a German patrol. i want you all to take them down. 2 support gunner on the left, 3 mortars on the right, we will advance through the center, 4 miles to Chef Du pont. I don't know about the others, how they're doing, looking up in the night sky, i could just see the flames coming from the gliders getting shot by the flakes, as well as machine gun fires along side with the German flak vierling. Everything was in a mess, Artillery gun sounding, all that killed the silence of the night.
