The tar get; The invasion beachhead be hind Cherbourg peninsula . . - know I shan’t have time later so let me jot down just a few ran dom thoughts that come to mind. ‘Before the calm, which the morning sun will tear from the lace of heaven, we charge at dawn!’ . . . D-day finds the Am erican soldier abroad enjoying popular music of this type: “Vic tory Polka.’ ‘Cowboy Boogie,’ •No Love, No Nothin’,’ ’Marsey Doats,’ ‘Never Slept a Wink Last Night,’ and the pub song, ‘Lay Me Down’. (No war song has ever caught on permanently.) We sing ‘Lily Marlene,’ the German song, to English w'ords. . . Irving Berlin’s songs are very popular. ... Popular books: ’The Robe,’ ‘Valley of Decision,’ ‘So Little Time,- ‘A Tree Growls in Brook lyn’. . . Popular comics: ‘Jane,’ *Lil’ Abner,’ ‘Male Call,’ Terry and the Pirates’ . . . Favorite mov ies: ‘Song of Bernadette’ with Jennifer Jones, and ‘Madame Curie’. . . Most war pictures are too brash for the soldiers. . . Scotch is the favorite drink; women the favorite subjects; let ters from home, now and always, the favorite reading.” June 6 (D-day): “Briefing at 2300 last night for 36 crews; at 0230 this morning briefing for 12 more. (This is OSOO hours.) These facts sound comparatively unimportant, but i they usher in one of the most ; .momentous days of history. This I is D-day. For several days now I eteryone on the airdrome has I sensed it coming. Yesterday all I public telephones in the vicinity were disconnected, all personnel ordered to stay on the post, all antiaircraft guns on the field fully staffed. There has been a ! sense of expectancy and there | has been tension. Tne boys talk • ori r% 11 iot 1 oKnnf it lact PvPn i n cf Many wrote brief letters home. May the censor be generous. (I have any number of them to mail if —.) All who could went to bed early. ‘If tomorrow is the day, then I want to go!’ That’s the expression of nearly every one. It isn’t that they are eager to get into combat, but now, at last, they can project themselves into the titanic battle on the continent. They want to do their bit for their comrades on the ground. One said to me some thing to'this effect: ‘It’s better to die than to miss the greatest emo tional event of one’s generation.’ The old fella thought of Henry’s address to his troops at Agin ccurt on St. Crispans day. Henry had no finer group than we who are briefing these boys today. * * * Excitement Subdued “The briefings. Quiet. Profes sional. Concise. No excitement, unless subdued. Evidently the ground forces will attempt to cutoff the German peninsula. Eleven thousand aircraft will participate. Magnitude is beyond conception. “Messages from Generals Doo little and Hodges. The meaning of their words was lost in the at mosphere. Every man seemed strained to get at it, yet every man sat through the longest, most thorough briefing ever giv en, attentively, anxiously. Big pictures, targets, flak, fighters, v%eather communications, all the usual information—with empha sis. ‘Do not drop short under any circumstances ... do not drop after 0628 . . . our troops land at 0630.’ “We were at 16,000 feet when the first light came, accomplish ing the last leg of our compli cated assembly and exit from the friendly island. It was a lovely dawn, layers of high stra tus clouds in the west, all pur ple and pink as the sun rose. The familiar English coast was visi ble through occasional breaks. A calm, dark sea crawling witi boats, punctuating their move ments with white exclamation points. Hundreds of boats, large and small . . . "The second mission had taker off before the first landed. The briefing room was quiet and empty awaiting the third. Inter rogation, coffee, breakfast with old-fashioned eggs. "II seemed impossible to give way to mortal sleep when we'd just seen the invasion, taken part in the invasion. "The British (and German) I radios had just awakened to the i invasion by now . Every man ! who didn’t fly asked about the j invasion. "Invasion, invasion, invasion! j "Dinner at combat crew mess: D-day special—pork chops a la Normandy, potato salad Cher- j bourg, French peas, English tea, I American pudding.
