It’s easy to take the World War II Allied victory on D-Day for granted somewhat — the concept of an invincible wave of Allied soldiers trampling over desperate troops of defending Germans is steadily becoming embedded in popular history. We are now so far removed from those events that victory may seem to us to have been a foregone conclusion.

NORMANDY BEACHHEAD, June 12, 1944 – Due to a last-minute alteration in the arrangements, I didn’t arrive on the beachhead until the morning after D-day, after our first wave of assault troops had hit the shore. kAmqJ E96 E:>6 H6 8@E 96C6 E96 362496D 925 366?

I n this war I have known a lot of officers who were loved and respected by the soldiers under them. But never have I crossed the trail of any man as beloved as Capt. Henry T. Waskow, of Belton, Texas. Capt. Waskow was a company commander in the 36th Division. He had led his company since long before it left the States. Editor's note: Pulitzer Prize-winning World War II correspondent Ernie Pyle wrote this column after a stay with the 36th Division units near Mignano and Venafro, Italy.

In This Review In This Review The Soldier’s Truth: Ernie Pyle and the Story of World War IITwo books revisit the life and vision of Pyle, one of the great American war correspondents of World War II. He reported from across the globe, from the battle of Britain in 1940 to his death during the battle of Okinawa in early 1945. His interest was less in strategy and tactics than in the human side of war.
