My name is Lt.Davis I'm a British officer with the 23rd Royal Airborne division. I'm only 22 but it helps not to think about that. Commanding 30 men isn't a easy thing even when I have a friend, Corporal Joey Zung, I've known him for half of my life. I don't want to lose another friend like I did in the African korps fight.
"Get ready for landing boys!" Sergent Williams said. hes been mostly like the platoon commander but now I have to show that I'm ready for everything else. "Lock arms!" we all wrapped are arms around the other mans arms. "Legs up! Alright Boys listen up were getting ready to land once you step foot on the ground find me or Davis!" "Here we go!" We hit the ground so fast i didn't even notice, but the one thing I remember hearing was...."Shit, ow my god damn leg!" Wasn't the best sound to hear on the plane. "Get up, get up I said Davis." Joey said." you ok, we hit the ground like a fucking meteor huh Davis." "Yeah Joey, I guess we did." Alright looks like the Gerrys didn't see are loud landing...... Draven where the hells Mills." "He's dead sir." everyone just stood there with a silent moment. "huh..... He never got to see his 20th birthday." Sergent said. I never told you the Sergent's name well his name is Peirce, I still don't know his first name.
"Its time to move out, get your ammo and weapons and take out the guards on the bridge." Sergent said "You got it Sarge." a private said. What we're going to do is what I've been training for. "MOVE IN!!!" every man charging for the guards. "Holy shit! Theres a pillbox there what the hell do we do now sir!" Private John brigs said. I had a long pause trying not to make the wrong order. "Sir?" "We'll take two squads around. One on the right and one on the left." "Can I take with right flank Sir" Joey said. "No you will be next to the Sarge and thats non negotiable." I said. Gun firing from the left and right, in front of us and even from above. "Hold here until the pillbox is destroyed." We stood for 3 minutes hoping it would explode. "I can't stay here and wait I'm going in!" A private said. Right when he got close to it the pillbox exploded. The private was killed instantly. "The pillbox is destroyed lets move in" Joey said
"The first side of the bridge is secure Move to the next! Get Johnson over here on the double Draven." The Sergent said. Draven whispered to himself. "I hate my job, I'm Airborne Infantry not a runner. Johnson! Johnson!!!!" Johnson was found. With his face burned and arm blown off. He died planting the bombs in the pillbox. "Where is Johnson." Sergent said. "He's dead Sir." Sergent sat there with a Angry face. "God damn soldiers getting killed, isn't that enough for me." I sat there and thought. "Davis lets go."

"Markham ! Markham !! Wake up , its me Boyd on your feet lets move ." Said Boyd. "Don't worry Markham you'll be alright. unless I get shot . " " You ok Boyd ." Said captain." "Yeah I'm alright . So is Markham , bearly ." " Markham can you walk on your own." Said the captain. "I..I think so sir."
I said." "Well good ." "Well now we need to take out that machine gun now." Said Boyd " Hold your horses Corporal. We need to find a way to get around it . come up with a plan . No plan is a stupid plan ." " Well sir we could distract it while Elder and I take left flank and you and Boyd go through center . Markham can distract them with fire and grenades . " Said Tovar. " Tovar thats the most stupidest Idea yet . But it may work ." " Wow imagine that we made a plan . Soon they will come up with a way to end the war ." said Boyd . " thats enough smack from you Boyd ." Said the captain . " alright we'll try the plan ." " Then if it doesn't work or someone dies we'll start all over until Markham is our only hope ." Said Boyd "Alright Boyd Enough of that lets move. While they moved up to flank the gun, i was sitting ducks here. I knew i wasn't gonna last just sitting here. so i decided to move by myself. "No Markham stay there!" The captain yelled. I just kept running down the right flank"MARKHAM IT'S A PANZER TANK!!!!!!" While i heard that i didn't have the time to stop. After that there the panzer tank was. Behind the hill of bricks.
When I tried to run back it shot a fire at me that hit the building beside me. I fell on my face with blood just pouring down my face. I tried to crawl back to cover from where i started but the tank crashed through the side of a building. I turned on my back and just laying there. " Markham stay there I'll come get you!" As I was laying there i was thinking of when i was back at home, all the good times. I had this dream, it was me and the squad that found a British Airborne troop. The leader was named Lt. Davis, nice guy to. "Get up! Come on get your ass up!" Boyd yelled. Boyd was a nice guy to, he was in West Point for about 2 years, then got kicked out for insubordination for not shooting a German prisoner. I don't know why he had to kill him anyway. " Alright Sergent you stop getting yourself hurt and I'll go get a Wayne to patch you up.
As once again I started to see a fade. "Markham stay with me! Markham!" the voice said.

June 6,1944. Just a few miles from normandy, we were entering a town called Rouen. A place we didn't expect German infantry to be.

"Hey capt," said Compton.

"Where's this town we're looking for any way."

"Well the town were looking for is Saenz."

"And its half as far we are going past Paris."

"So Seanz. We're going to a place you dont know where."

"I didn't say that private I said its half past paris."

"Markham. Get over here," said Jackson.

"What do you want Jackson."

"Do you think this was a good thing to do."

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!"

"It sounded like a grenade went off."

"Get to cover ." All the voices in the background.

"Markham get over here."

I ran as fast as I could passing the flying bullets around me.

"Its a mg 42 mounted on those hill of bricks," said Tovar.

I was scared I would die. bullets zomming past me,my brother mikey runnig and runnig past every bullet and bomb.i saw a man no legs. I tried not to look but something in my mind told me to look."Markham over here I found a way come". I followed and then bang I heard a shot so close, so loud it could only be aiming at my brother. I looked at my brother he was shot. I dragged him to cover, I went to a medic named Lars . my brother was yelling "MAMA!!!,MAAMAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". I stared at my brother he said Markham dont..llllet.your hopes....d.d.down. there he went, dead. "He fought well Private"Captain said"he will tell god, I spent my time in hell". I paused a for a moment and thought. "BANDOLORS TAKE COVER!!!!" "FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!"BOOOOOMMMM!!!!!. A big explotion. "Destroy those pillboxes" Captain said.people ran as fast as they could i just stared at my brother for the last time. "Corporal lets go"captain said. I ran as fast as I could. Once I ran to the pillbox I grabbed a gernade pulled the pin and chunked it.My friend Ray took a flamethrower and flamed the pillbox. Cpl.Williams said" dont shoot let'em burn. I have'nt shoot a gerry yet I grabbed a M1 Grand and started firing every shot non stop. The gerry's raised their hands and said siehe oben, siehe oben. I went over to Tovar and said" this might be the worst fight in history. and will be called D-day for this point on.
