God bless him.
I took an extensive tour of Omaha Beach as well as Gold and Utah Beaches in 2019, just weeks before the 75th anniversary of D=Day. It never ceases to amaze me how brave these soldiers were considering the daunting challenges they were facing.
103 years old. Sadly, there are not many of these guys left.

Same here. I stood in one of the German bunkers that looked out over Omaha Beach and just tried to imagine how anyone survived when the gates on the landing craft dropped.

Designed to use the standard German fully-powered 7.92×57mm Mauser rifle round, be low-cost and easier to mass-produce, the MG 42 proved to be highly reliable and easy to operate. It is most notable for its very high cyclic rate for a gun using full-power service cartridges, averaging about 1,200 rounds per minute
