Historical Background:
6th of June 1944,06h30 - Dog Green/Charlie Red sector.
Landing Craft of Able Company of 116th RCT (Regimental Combat Team, 29th Infantry Division) landed on Dog Green sector while LCAs of Charlie Company of 2nd Rangers Battalion arrived on Charlie Red sector. US soldiers were immediately under the deadly fire of machine-guns, mortars and antitank guns of German strongpoints Wn71, Wn72 and Wn73 which defended the area. On Dog Green, A/116th RCT, decimated, was pinned down on the beach, and survivors took cover behind hedgehogs. On Charlie Red, Rangers succeeded to reach the cliffs with heavy losses and to take by the rear the "Maison fortifiée" strongpoint, that was reduced in the morning. On Dog Green,, in spite of the support of DD amphibious tanks of B Squadron (743rd Tank Battalion) and the landing of the second assault wave( B/116th RCT), the US soldiers were still pinned down on the beach, always under the fire of Wn71. Exit D1 was only captured by US troops at 14h00, but was not available before the evening of D-Day.
