🧵| Shug Jordan in #DDay

When 156,000 Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy, Ralph Shug Jordan was one of them.

In fact, Shug was one of the few people to know the secret details of the landings prior to June 6, 1944. (1/8) Image Jordan helped plan many amphibious landings during World War II. He was mainly in charge of the logistics portion as a member of the U.S. Army's First Engineer Special Brigade.

The D-Day dress rehearsal code name was "Exercise Tiger." No Auburn influence on the name, sadly (2/8) Image
