A few bullets strayed into the MG Nest but all just missed Heinrich's squad.His captain who was firing the MG was hit my a bullet and died immediately.Heinrich took over and cut down 7 enemy troops and forced another squad to take cover.

I saw the captian die just as I walked into the bunker, " Damnit! " I shouted I got into position beside the edge of the bunker, the Americans looked scared to death, all crossing themselfs and bowing their heads in prayer, Cartesen aimed down the scope of his rifle and took shot at a soldier, after taking the shot, two other men in the boat jumped out in fear,I knew who the captian in the boat was now because he shot his " Fellow " soldiers for their cowardly actions, I couldn't tell if it was water or urine running down one of the men's legs, I lined up another shot, missing their captian barely, but nailing their gunner.

james ran out of the landing craft, he fell into the water and was submerged for a few hellish seconds before he got back up and made it onto the beach, he ran past the obstacles and reached the exit from the beach. it was blocked by barbed wire, so h e dived down and began to dig into the shingle, trying to get some cover.
