You expected an invasion in June 1944? Personally, yes, I did. We were told by our officers that an attempt at invading France by sea might be made at any time, and logically this had to be in the summer because of the rough seas in the fall and winter. My comrades and I would often sit at night in our barracks in April and May that year and say, ‘Will they come tomorrow? When will they come? When?’
