Pro-tip: if you EVER find yourself in a time machine, NEVER NEVER NEVER FUCKING NEVER go to Russia between 1941 and 1945. I mean, it was a shithole before and after that window as well.

Probably be covered in the blood of my squadmates. Hopefully make it through the day without getting shot, though that's a near impossibility. Probably have some of the most severe PTSD you could possibly have considering, if I did some how survive, I would have seen hundreds of my comrades and friends just get shot to shit by machine gun fire.

Assuming I don't get cut down as soon as the ramp drops, get to the sand bar for cover, find a radio, and start yelling at the Navy to get some fire on the emplacements. I don't care if it's danger close, get some rounds downrange.

>>33978795
Bombardments and bombings missed the fortifications at Omaha. The Brits also got some of their Shermans ashore at Gold, I think it was, so they did have it easier.

Play dead and pretend to be dead.

Which also would mean I would be the very first soldier ever recorded to actually use the play dead tactic unlike 99% of other soldiers that never tried to pretend to be dead and they end up getting killed.

>>33978885

The USA had Sherman tanks with bolt on pontoons for the front and back. Made them naturally float even in rough seas, and scooted around by just turning the tracks in high gear.

They were solely used in the Pacific Theater oddly enough, no one bothered to bring them to Europe.

Yeah but really.. why go with the British idea of putting a shower curtain around the tank to make it float, rendering the gun useless and easy to sink; when the USA already had a much better idea of Bolt-On-Floaties that didn't hinder the turret & wasn't easy to sink..?

Well, we know how it goes so if I'm packed in there waiting for the ramp to drop I make sure (if possible) to not be at the very front of the line. The moment the ramp starts to drop I do too.

I'd get a buddy to boost me over the side before we hit the beach, and then just wait behind the boat until it hit land. Then I'd get ahold of a 1903, and snipe the mg42 gunners.

You don't understand. Sometimes, the soldiers on either side had to go into battle without a weapon, and wait until either a comrade or enemy fell to obtain one. They literally didn't have enough weapons or ammo to arm the entirety of their forces at several key battles.

I know you are dense but you understand what the term "FIRST WAVE" means right?

>51 tanks adapted were used that day
>only 3 didn't immediately sink

Holy shit imagine drowning in a tank with no way out because """they""" think tank crews are expendable.

shit so many bricks i could build a wall to absorb incoming fire

get shot, or drown, but either way, I would probably die

>still thinks the first wave all dies.

The fact you can't tell the difference between World War 1 British bayonet charges, and US troops at Omaha beach is a little sad.

You probably haven't realised that the US outnumbered the Germans 5 to 1 and that the Germans had almost no artillery support and were shit quality troops.

So they had this (>>33982368) available.. but used this (>>33977539) instead.

Why did Eisenhower hate tank crews?

My great uncle Julie drove one of these boats. I only met him a few times right before he passed. Hed told my dad he was afraid to die

I dont know how many, but it was more than 3. And everytime he told someone to get on the gun, he knew they would probably die.

Almost everybody in the first wave who actually followed orders died. The only survivors played dead or had attacked an entirely different place.

First waves had 95-100% casualties

Enjoy the gulag

Strip off everything but ammo then
try to go over the side.

Do my best to swim down the shore.

Probably die anyway.

Tell my superiors that I need to speak with the highest ranking officer on base. Maneuver my way until I get to speak with Eisenhower. Tell him the secrets of the jet engine, atomic weapons (this is before they made Fatman), TVs, satellites and so on until he believes me that I know shit I shouldn't.

Start telling him of America's downfall into corruption and police state, the growing distrust in Europe, the rise of China and the rampant infection of mussies from the Middle East.

Convince him to call off the invasion, defect to Hitler, assassinate him, manipulate a more levelheaded officer to take the Reichskannsler's office, sue for peace for a few years until Germany is ready for WW3: electric boogaloo, help them win and save Earth from the true threat: the darkies.
