Omaha Beach and Beyond
The Long March of Sergeant Bob Slaughter
Nineteen years old in the first wave at Omaha, and still going months later in Germany
Slaughter was nineteen and six foot five when he waded ashore in the first wave at Omaha Beach, which he thought made him an obvious target. He survived the beach and kept going through Normandy, the hedgerows and into Germany. Written decades later from a soldier point of view rather than a strategic one, it is concerned with the men beside him.
