During the night of June 5, 1944 , C-47 planes carrying the men of the 82nd Airborne, take off and head for Normandie. Few of the pathfinders succeed in properly placing their beacons to guide the planes. Only one of several factors that causes loads of paratroops to land nowhere near their designated dropzone. As these zones are surrounded by flooded areas, many Airborne troops find themselves dispersed, plodding through the swamps in the night. Lots of them drown and are thus killed without firing a single shot. Even though the Americans are very vigilant, with German patrols on the hunt all around, little do they know a far greater danger is stalking them. Unaware of this gruesome threat, the troops attempt to regroup in the darkness before setting off towards their objectives. Thus for some “The longest day” starts “In a bad place”…
