Its the day when we start invading European mainland. I’m so scared right now but I have to do this in order to win this war and finish it as soon as possible so I can go back to my home, to my family. My troops and other troops from British, France, and Canada gathered together and set us up for this humongous invasion. Oh, my heart is beating like its in fast motion. I hope I don’t die. Now, we are all set and we set our way to the Normandy beach. We knew German troops were waiting for us. Wow, they hided very well but their plans were so self-centered that they did not thought about how we could find out. After getting out of the ship and we started setting our feet on the beach, BOOM! Bomb started exploding, machines guns went on non-stop and this invasion had bloody start. As I started to kill some of German troops and began fighting my way through this beach, I saw a lot of my troops getting killed. I really don’t want to do this... Isn’t there any other ways to stop German to invade? Why do we have to have war to prove to our enemies that we are strongest? I hope war stops soon... Or is it too late?
