Germans Called This American Mission 'Suicide' — Until He Took 20,000 Bullets

Sixteen bulldozers were assigned to Omaha Beach on D-Day. Only three survived the first hour.

On the morning of June 6, 1944, a twenty-year-old private drove one of those machines off a landing craft into chest-deep water — with no armor, no cab, and no cover. German gunners had already identified the bulldozers as priority targets. Within minutes, he was shot through the hand and hit by shrapnel in the face. He did not stop.

Thirty-four thousand men were trapped on the sand with nowhere to go. Every beach exit was blocked. What one wounded private did over the next forty-eight hours on that bulldozer — and why the Army gave him its second-highest decoration for it — is something most people have never heard.
