Citizens of Carentan, emerging
joyfully amid the ruins with bottles
of carefully boarded wines and
champagne, said the morale of all
German ranks was extremely bac.
1t is a fact, however, that regard
less of their morale, the Germans
made a stubborn defense at Caren-

That was eight years ago. In the
time since. Ernie has covered an
incredible amount of ground-and
water and air. During the first
three years alone. in his car, in
trains and ships and planes and
afoot. his journeys came TO a total
of $4,000 miles. They have carried
him into all 48 states, TO Alaska

ing on for months, although these
were not yet all complete. A 100
foot bluff a couple of hundred
yards back from the beach had
great concrete gun emplacements
built right into the hilltop. These
opened TO the sides instead OF TO
the front, thus making 1t very hard
for naval fire from the sea to reach
them. They could sheet parallel
with the beach and cover every
foot Of it for miles with artillery
fire.
Then they haG hiGs... :,,achine-
gun nests on the forward slopes,
with crossfire taking in every inch

connected by networks of trenches,
so that the German gunners could
move about without exposing them
selves.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-06-13
GREAT CONCRETE WALLS

Through the length of the beach,
running zigzag a couple of hundred
yards back from the shoreline, was
an Immense v-shaped ditch Is feet
deep. Nothing could cross it, not
even men on foot, until fills had
been made And in other places at
the far end of the beach, where
the ground is flatter, they had
great concrete walls. These were
blasted by our naval gunfire or by
explosives set by hand after we
got ashore.
Our only exits from the beach
were several swales or valleys, each
about 100 yards wide. The Germans
made the most of these funnel-like
traps, sowing them with buried
mines. They contained, also, barbed
wire entanglements with mines
attached, hidden citches, and ma
chine guns firing from the slopes.
This is what was on the shore.
But our men had to go through a
maze nearly as deadly as this be-
fore they even got ashore. The
Germans had whole fields of evil
devices uncer water TO catch our
boats. Even now, several days after
the landing, we have cleared only
channels through them and cam
not yet approach the whole length
of the beach with our ships. Even
now some ship or boat hits one of
these mines every day and is knock
ed out of commission.
