Gap Assault Team Preparation and Landing
The Gap Assault team members, carrying heavy gear and explosives, embarked on landing crafts in the early hours of June 6, 1944, heading towards Omaha Beach despite the darkness and rough seas. Facing a lack of enemy fire initially, the team defied the untouched obstacles meant to deter them, taking advantage of a unexpected lull to progress towards the shore. As they approached the beach, they encountered gunfire, mortars, and anti-aircraft shells, with some team members wounded as they made their way through the intense chaos of battle.
