"Scratch Two German Landing Boats" Eighty Years Ago Today - (Thursday) January 28th, 1943 - Sfax, Tunisia: The U-Boats aren't active today, but the US Army Air Forces are. As the noose is tightening on the Afrika Korps and their Italian Allies in North Africa, they are getting forced tighter and tighter into the coast of Tunisia. Allied land troops and tanks are closing in - as is their air cover. In an attack today, American planes sink Marinefährprahm F359 "landing barge" (similar craft, Photo 1) and the landing ferry "SF 36 Goldbutt" (similar craft, Photo 2). Casualties unspecified. Just another day... 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photos: 1, wqrlordgames.com; 2, PubDom #visitmonmouth #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #onlyinnewjersey #njspots #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancockhistory #forthancock #battleoftheatlantic #battleofthemediterranean #Marinefahrprahm #landingcraft #landingbarge #afrikakorps #operationtorch #usarmyairforce #armyairforce #armyaircorps #airstrike #shipwrecks #goodshooting (at Fort Hancock, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-lCkYADof/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This guy right here had faith in during my apprenticeship, 14 yrs ago. The bottom one is a WWII landing craft, my clients father piloted it on D-Day. His chances of serval we almost none. His father made it back home. In honer of his father, he gave me the opportunity to commemorate it, 14 yrs ago. The top is dedicated to his son and his college graduation.

US soldiers practice an amphibious landing in a LCVP or Higgins Boat during World War 2. More than 200,000 Higgins Boats were produced during the war, with hundreds seeing action on D-Day in the biggest amphibious invasion in history. #HistoryQuickie #HistoriansUnion #WorldWar2 #WorldWarII #WW2 #WWII #LCVP #HigginsBoat #DDay #Soldiers #USA #American #Soldiers #Amphibious #Landing #LandingCraft #Barge #Ocean #Helmet #Warfare #War #Warriors https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz-ChO8BZwU/?igshid=19rzu0wi1njsp

You never know what will wash up on the beach. After sneaking in for a landing earlier in the morning, one of two US NAVY Landing Craft Air Cushion or LCACs (hovercrafts), departs from Belmont Shore in Long Beach, just before dawn. #SwiftIntruders #acu5 #lcac #landingcraft #landingcraftaircushion #hover #hovercraft #itreallydoesfly #heliweb #usnavy #usmc #amphibious #amphibiousassault #flylow #predawn (at Rosie's Dog Beach)

Battle of Normandy, D-Day - Landing transport, Omaha Beach, June 6, 1944

"My God, we're coming in at the right spot, but look at it! No shingle, no wall, no shell holes, no cover. Nothing!" – Lt.  Edward Tidrick, 116th Infantry, 29th Division

On June 6, 1944, from the clifftops at Omaha Beach, the Germans fired anti-tank guns, light artillery, riffles, mortars and machine guns at the arriving U.S. troops.  Omaha Beach had the highest casualty rate of the out of the five allied landing points.  

The transports were timed to arrive midway between high and low tides.  At 6:30 a.m. the ramps dropped.  The men jumped into the water which was waist deep or above a man’s head. The overburden packs dragged the men down.  Some of the men managed to grasp the sides of the boat to stay afloat.

The survivors struggled out of their packs to float with the tide to shore.  The Germans opened fire, ripping apart the approaching men.  The sea turned red. The lightly wounded drowned, still wearing their packs.  

Within seven minutes the first wave is inert.  Most of the officers are dead.  One transport disappeared, leaving only bodies that float ashore.  Within 15 minutes, the first company has not fired a shot. Approximately two thirds never make it off the beach alive.

The transports continue to arrive.  The men who escape drowning, had to cross open sand, using water-filled troughs called runnels.  The next obstacles were a sea wall topped with razor wire, a minefield up to 200 yards long, and scaling cliffs up to 170 feet tall to reach the German positions.

On D-Day, the high ground was won with the sacrifice of thousands.  The victory at the Battle of Normandy earned the Allies a toehold to begin the push to defeat the Nazis in Germany.  It began with the first men who braved the first wave that hit the beach.
