The invasion . caught - the naxis
completely by surprise. '
It was not until 3:30 jxl that
German - reconnaissance , - plane
sighted the .United Nations in
vading forces moving into position
and thia was -too-late to-be- effec
tive. v . '
Dawn revealed! the most amaz
ing sight 'of this ox any other war.
There were ships everywhere -I
looked. Planes were darting
through the clouds above them.
Heavy broadsides of American
and British battleships and cruis
ers rumbled through the over
cast and yellow flames from the
gun muzzles all but. obscured' the
warships as thousands of tons of
explosives' were : sent . shoreward
against German Installations.
: Destroyers and landing craft
jockeying for position,' awaiting
the opportunity to discharge their
cargoes. ;
So completely i asleep were the
Germans that British minesweep
ers escorted by this P-T squad
ron ran interference for. the in
vasion by clearing a broad path
right up to the! beaches without
once being challenged. I
This unprecedented maneuver
was carried out without the loss
of a single P-T. Despite ' rough
seas .'which left crews bruised and
battered and many acutely sea
sick, the American P-Ts : shep
herded the ' minesweepers along
the charted 'route all 'night Be
cause of the slowness of the mine
sweepers it had been necessary
to. begin the operation in ' broad
daylight Monday, but perfect air
