Harry heard Gerta calling him out of his daydream. "Honey, lets go for a walk along the road and then up the bluff." Harry nodded his agreement. He put his pants on. Gerta followed by putting a wrap-around skirt over her bathing suit.
Harry rolled up the beach towels and put them under his arm. Then he jumped on top of the sea wall, turned and extended his hand to help Gerta up. The couple slowly walked along the road arm-in-arm.
They came to a dirt trail, running up the bluff. Gerta leaned over and whispered in Harry's ear, "Follow me, soldier. I want to find a place where I can fuck your brains out." Harry laughed, then followed her up the trail....
....Chambers soon discovered that the sea wall did not offer much protection. German mortar crews were bombarding the huddled Americans. Men were screaming in pain all around him. Then one big soldier bellowed, "Fuck this. I ain't waitin' around to get killed." With that exclamation, the big GI jumped to the top of the sea wall, ran across the road, and began making his way up the bluff. Encouraged by his bravery, other GI's began to scamper across the road. Some made it, some didn't.
After enduring two more mortar explosions, Chambers decided to follow a corporal across the road. He jumped on top of the sea wall and ran as fast as he could. Because of his wound, he was slower than the corporal. This probably saved his life. About a yard ahead of Chambers, the corporal suddenly flew in the air, on top of an mine blast.
