IN NORMANDY (By Wireless) =
American anti-aircraft gunners be-
gan playing their important part in
the battle of Normandy right on D.
Day and shortly after H-Hour.
Ordinarily you wouldn't think CT
the anti-aircraft coming ashore
with the infantry, but little bit of
everything came ashore on that me-
morable day from riflemen to
press censors. from combat engi-
neers to chaplains-and everybody
had hand in it.
The ack-ack was given place in
the very early waves because the
general in command felt that the
Germans would threw what air
strength they had onto the beaches
that day and he wanted his men
there to repel it.
DID OTHER THINGS
AS it turned out, the Germans
didn't use their planes at all and
the ack-ack wasn't needed to pro-
tect the landings from air attack.
So, like many other units. they
turned themselves into infantry or
artillery and helped win the battle
of the beaches.
They took infantrylike casualties,
too. One unit lest half of its men
and guns.
