Source Analysis: D-Day Invasion
Source A: Diary Entry of a Normandy Soldier
"The day finally arrived. Our landing on the beaches was chaos, with gunfire and explosions all around. Many of us feared it would be the last day of our lives. Despite the fear, we pushed forward, knowing this was our chance to turn the tide of the war. The boats rocked violently, and the sand was soaked with blood. I saw comrades fall beside me, but we kept moving. The air was thick with smoke, and the sound of artillery was deafening. It was the beginning of the end for the occupying forces in Western Europe." Provenance: Private diary of Private John Miller, dated June 6, 1944, written during the Normandy landings.
