What would have been your plan if you were on a Normandy landing boat?

During D Day invasion. Front row do you immediately try to dive off to the side when the gate drops? A few rows back do you try to use dead bodies for cover? How would you try to get to the beach and cover?

Swim out to sea

Doesn't matter. If an MG42 had you it's sights wouldn't have been good. 1500 rounds a minute is no bueno

Shoot myself in the foot and play dead in the boat and make a miraculous recovery when it gets back to the ship.

Those guys were resigned that they weren't coming home.
It's easy to say now, but you might as well just do your best for your brothers next to you and try to reach your objectives and hope for the best.
I think about this often and it's a very humbling idea the sacrifices these men made in particular for our country.

Jump overboard before getting to the beach

To do my damn duty.

I am pretty sure you can read documentation on what was the most effective strategy for deboarding a Higgins boat.
I feel like if you jumped in water over your head you were protected from bullets, but were dragged under by your gear's weight.
I'd shed my gear in the boat and only have my rifle and extra rounds.
That's all I could really do so secure my safety towards the beach. On the beach is a whole new set of ideas.

When men were men, and patriotism was something you had pride in.

Invading Normandy the way we did it was dumb af....we had bombers that could have fricked up that beach up and made it look like the moon before we invaded on ground....
To have to storm the beach while gunners were teeing off inside concrete bunkers, then to even get there,then take it over to destroy their long range cannons and take the beach solely on foot was dumbest shite I've ever read about...

It's funny how many people in this thread agree that they would abandon the mission and go against orders to keep them alive.
With that said, I'm one of those people.

You plan to die and thank god every minute of every day thereafter if given the opportunity.

It was pretty stupid that the front of the boat opened up like that instead of the sides of the boat
