June 10th, 1944, Gold Beach, Normandy France, 66th Armored Regiment

They arrived a few days late to the party. D-Day was over, and Allied troops pushed further inland to the north, south and east. He is in his M4 Sherman with his crew, pushing towards a small town near the beach. They can see the aftermath of the fighting between British Paratroopers and German soldiers from the early hours right before D-Day, with shell casings everywhere, and small craters dotting the road. They finally reach the town, which is relatively untouched by the fighting, with some German influence here and there, some flags of the Reich being burned and residents welcoming the arriving Americans and Brits, waving French flags. They set up a FOB, and he heads into town, wearing his tanker uniform, minus the helmet and some gear.
