The concept of the Allies actually invading Germany seemed unimaginable at the time, it must be said.
After the initial burst of energy and determination that I felt when the attack started, I began to feel pity for these troops, because they kept arriving in landing craft. The craft would deposit them in the shallows, and they would walk towards us through the water in the same way as the first set of troops. We fired at them in the same way, causing the same deaths and injuries. My loader was moved by this, and he shook his head, saying that the Americans should not sacrifice their men in this way.
Death is death. A man lost is a husband, a father or a brother lost. That is the senselessness of war.
