It is 05:55 AM in Normandy, France.
The morning is starting to brighten. In one sector, the men of the Wehrmacht's 352nd Infantry Division stand ready. Reports through the early morning hours of airborne raids have reached them, but they have their duty here, above a beach whose name, which they do not know, has been designated by a foe they have yet to meet.
Beyond the horizon, an armada greater than any fleet Europe has ever seen waits for the signal to advance.
