Maj. Gen Maxwell D Taylor recounts the D-Day assault in a Normandy pasture at 1 a.m. on June 6 1944. He describes the night jump with a small unit and the eerie moment of being observed by French cows as he faced enemy fire and confusion during the invasion.
Gen Maxwell D Taylor argues Stalingrad decisively shaped WWII, turning the tide and easing Allied tasks at D-Day. The piece quotes Taylor recounting Normandy paratroop drops, the distinctive cricket symbol, and postwar views on airborne mobility and shock value. Memory and anecdotes frame his career from D-Day to Vietnam.
Lt. Gen. Troy Middleton reflects on D-Day and the enormity of Allied operations. He recalls commanding over 100000 men in the Eighth Army Corps, airborne divisions 101st and 82nd, and a vast invasion force. He notes air superiority, massive ships and aircraft, and the rapid progression from Cherbourg to Coblenz and Chemnitz before the war paused for the Russians.
