For a moment, they meet D and other US soldiers sheltering behind his tank…. He and his buddy climb out of the tank to put Bill’s plan into action. His tank is stuck in a mortar hole on the beach at Normandy, but he has a plan to fix things before he and his crew are blown to pieces like other tanks nearby.
Just like his father who fought in WWI, Bill is driving a tank in war. Anything other than the hell he just jumped into….īill, (proud to be named after William the Conqueror and knowing everything there is to know about him), is from Liverpool. James is a young Canadian who thought protecting Canada would mean beach patrols at home. Bullets strafe across the sky, and anti aircraft guns boom below. James – ‘What the hell am I doing here?’ is all he can think as he leaps out of a plane with his squad. She knows that this is the only way to try and save her mother…. This is a plan to slow the German advance into France. When they are separated on the night before D-Day, Samira has to find the Resistance fighters herself and is soon part of Operation Tortoise. Samira and her mother are French Algerians and part of the French Resistance. Waves of men are mowed down as they leave the flat bottomed boats, designed for beach landings. He is now, along with thousands of US soldiers, part of Operation Neptune, storming the beaches of Normandy on D-Day in a hailstorm of bullets. He was actually born in Germany – but has changed his name to Douglas Carpenter from Dietrich Kaufman. He is now an American soldier with a secret.
Soldiers, French Resistance forces and French civilians are all caught up in this battle, young, old, veteran soldiers and teenagers who signed up keen for action.ĭ is only 16 yrs old when he signs up to fight. Thousands of troops storm the beaches of Normandy France to push enemy forces back to Germany.
