On D+2 a bullet-riddled landing craft washed ashore on a beach not too far from Omaha. On board were the bodies of six American naval officers. What was so important about one of them?

[Hauptmann Holston]

The man was a beach master of the VII Corps and on his body were found the invasion plans by a German Cossack, or something along those line i believe

[Kingfish]

Right you are.

Over to you.
