THE BATTLE FOR NORMANDY Johann felt far older than his 21 years when he looked at his men. They were all good lads, and loyal, and they’d trained hard these last two months, but they looked so young and eager. What he wouldn’t give for even a dozen of the comrades that’d died on the Eastern Front last year. Still, if wishes were horses, as his mother said, and the Americans didn’t seem to want to wait, and there was no time to explain clever tactics to them now… ‘Forwards!’, he shouted, leaping to his feet, sprinting for the hedgerow. Camouflaged soldiers rose from the dry summer grass on both sides, charging alongside him as the enemy machine- guns opened fire, bowling half a dozen over. With their bloodlust up, that was never going to stop them. Moments later, the young soldiers were following Johann’s example, brutally laying about themselves with submachine-guns, grenades, and sharpened spades, clearing the enemy position. Maybe they’ll make it after all, Johann thought, proudly surveying the survivors as they settled into their newly won trenches. They’re learning fast.
