Re: Sword Beach D-Day

Priller simply notes in his book that because his 3 Gruppen were elsewhere, the unit had only 2 combat-ready aircraft on hand. He and his wing man flew to the "Kampfraum" (battle area), and he was happy that with an advantage of several hundred aircraft the enemy didn't shoot them down. There is no comment on straffing the beaches.

Hope this helps,
George
