Entering The Jaws Of Death Without A Clue
Soldiers from Canada, England, and the United States turned the tide of the war by storming the beaches of Normandy. Many enlistees were aware that once they entered battle, they might not be able to return home. As a sergeant, Tom Jensen served with the 626th Engineer Light Equipment Co. According to him, the other soldiers didn’t know where they were going until they arrived, according to the Chicago Tribune. The vet said, “They didn’t tell us anything we didn’t need to know. Heck, some of the guys on our ship thought we were headed to Japan, not Normandy. Just months earlier, we were either in high school or working odd jobs. We weren’t soldiers, at least not yet.”
