Ok It is very exciting, the landing beach is now effective with the landing craft coming to Sword and Gold beach !


Situation near “Pont de Ranville”
-The 7th still Hold the position
-The 13th and 12th fight with the numerous Germain troops coming from the north

Now See The beach !

-The Sherman V Crab of the 22sd Dragoons Rgt try to make a passage between mines !
They try to mahe their job with a lot of casualties.
