Re: Sword Beach D-Day

In The JG 26 War Diary: Volume Two 1943-1945 (a companion to his narrative Top Guns history), Caldwell describes Priller's and Wodarczyk's attack on Sword noting that "the two fighters roared overhead at fifty feet, their machine guns and cannon clattering." Although other aircraft from JG 2, JG 26, and SG 4 sortied against the beachhead on 6 June, there are no other attacks on the beach mentioned in the book. Perhaps another pilot did so but didn't survive to report it.
