Boats began to hit the shore and Allied troops piled out of them. German
machine guns rip into them sending bodies back into the boats. Men use
their friend's corpses as shields to get into the water then swim to shore.
Even more bullets rip through the water making the ice blue water red. Dead
fish are pushed onto shore by waves along with bodies of fallen comrades. A
wounded soldier who has reached the shore and hidden behind a barricade
desperately tries to push his intestines back in. The medic beside lies
dead with a bullet hole in his forehead. A small group of soldiers reach
the barbed wire and set bandoliers to blow a hole. The explosion causes a
ringing on one soldiers ears and he can't hear his captain's orders. As the
captain frantically yells at the man to put his helmet back on and lay
low.a lucky German shot rips through the privates cheek and bounces off his
teeth and out the back of his throat. The captain calls the medic over. "
Sir this man isn't gonna live." The medic quietly whispers to the crying
captain. He continues to whisper so the wounded man won't over hear. "Doc,
at least give him some fuckin' morphine so he wont die in pain!" The
wounded man over hears and begins to panic. "I'm gonna die? I don't wanna
die! I want my mommaaaaaa!" The man begins screaming wildly. The doc stabs
a morphine IV into the man's arm and he settles down and quietly slips away
from the world of the living.
