Combat Casey #15
A True World War II Story
7:00 on June 6, 1944, Combat Casey and a group of American soldiers arrived on the shores of France ahead of the D-Day invasion. They fight their way up a ridge and radio the enemy location for an American destroyer which wipes them all out. Fighting their way to the top of the ridge they find that an artillery cannon that the enemy set up had recently moved and follow the trail to it's location.
They fight through more enemy soldiers, destroy a Nazi pill box until they find the cannon where it is set up. They find it unmanned with loads of ammunition and pointed toward the beach heads where they can cause the most damage to invading American forces. Not knowing why the soldiers thought it was abandoned, they destroyed it anyway in order to insure that it is not used against them in the coming invasion, although the reason why it was left unmanned is unknown even to this day.
