"By the end of the day, the beaches had been secured and the heaviest fighting had moved at least a mile inland."
"In the biggest & most complicated amphibious operation in military history, it wasn’t bombs, artillery or tanks that overwhelmed the Germans; it was men — many of them boys, really — "
"slogging up the beaches & crawling over the corpses of their friends that won the Allies a toehold at the western edge of Europe."
