OK, this is Hans-Ulrich Rudel, with out a doubt the best ground-attack pilot to ever live. He flew over 2500 missions in a Stuka, being shot down four times, losing his right leg in the process (but still flew after) and his kill counts enclude 2 russian Lachovin La5 fighters (in a stuka!) two russian destroyers, one heavy battle ship, over 400 russian armoured vehicles, 1000 other vehicles, and 300 artillery batteries. When all was said and done he had had one kill for every 1.4 missions. He was awarded the gold wound-badge (the equivelent of 5 purple hearts), the iron cross second class (equivelent to the bronze star), iron cross 1st class (equivelent to the silver star), the german cross in gold (equivelent to two or more silver stars), the russian front campaign medal, the 2000 mission pilots clasp (for flying over 2000 missions, he was the only man ever to do this), the pilots badge with dimonds (equivelent to the american pilot's wings but quallified to fly more than just one plane), and the Knight's cross with golden oakleaves swords and Diamonds (the equivelent of four Medals of honor).

i said i wouldnt post again but i found a pic of real omaha beach. If u look carefully u can tell that d1 was the code name for dog1 exit and 116th regiment was assigned to take it. Heres the pic.

And this is a picture if Michael Wittman (in the center) and his gunner Bathazar Woll. They are the all-time tankaces, their score was 138 kills before being killed themselves by two British Tempests which scored two hits with 500lb bombs on their Tiger durring the fighting outside Caen on June 9th 1944.

Im wondering did omaha dog 1 have those concrete bunkers that are in moh and seen in SPR. Theyn aren't in the longest day and that film was done soon after the war so a detail like that wouldn't have been missing ?

[arCTic$nip3r]

the bunkers were cleared out soon after the war and so were beach obstacles. The picture i showed there was from 1948.

P.S. If u look carefully u can see 5 circles on top of the bluff. Those circle most probably indicated the positions of the bunkers.
