With ..., Allied soldiers prepares for what ... At dawn on 6 June, thousands landed by parachute behind ... Meanwhile, thousands more were journeying across the English Channel to Normandy beaches ... But even in the depths of war, few could have been prepared for the violence and horror they could experience there.
Task 3 Read Para.3&4&5 carefully and find the details.
How fierce the war was
Try to find some words and expressions.
The fiercest fighting was at Omaha Beach. The enemy were hiding, ready to attack the Allied soldiers even before they reached land. Boats were hit and men drowned, while those who did make it to the beach faced heavy machine gunfire. By mid-morning, hundreds lay dead in the water and amongst the tanks
on the beach. One soldier recalled how he barely made it with bombs falling all around him: “I was the first one out. The seventh man was the next one to get across the beach without being his. All the ones in between were hit. Two were killed; three were injuried. That’s how lucky you had to be.”
