Ste. Mere-Eglise/Transcript

An entry in Pvt. Martin's diary:

D-Day 0020 Hours

Nobody seems to have dropped where they were supposed to. I haven't seen anyone from my unit yet, but luckily I've hooked up with some guys from Baker Company. We also have men from Able, Dog, and Fox Companies with us. . . what a mess.

We're getting ready to capture the village of Ste. Mère Eglise, about 5 miles from Utah Beach. We're approaching through a narrow field with minefields on each side.

Captain Foley says there's two platoons of German paratroopers in that village. I'd say we've got a serious fight ahead of us.

The roads of Ste. Mère Eglise connect Utah beach to the main highway of the peninsula, which should put us right in the path of the most likely German counterattack.

Captain Foley: Alright guys, get set to move. On my command!

Pvt. Martin drops from trench.

Captain Foley: Let's go, let's go!

Machine guns open fire on advancing Americans and mortars hit the field.

Captain Foley: MG42s! Hit the dirt! Get suppressing fire on those '42s! Mortars! Faster! Keep moving forward! We get caught here we're dead!

Martin advances on the Germans

Captain Foley: Martin, help clear those buildings! Get some grenades in those windows!

The machine guns are cleared.

Captain Foley: Good job guys! We're moving on.

Americans advance past the machine guns

Captain Foley: Clear that building. Get that gunner on the halftrack and let's go.

Gunner is taken out.

Captain Foley: Good job son! Squad, move up! Go! Go! Go!

''Germans in house across the street open first on the paratroopers.

Captain Foley: Lay down a base of fire! Martin, take their left flank!

Martin advances to the left side of the building

Captain Foley: Martin, take their left flank! Clear that building. Move it - go! Base of fire, shift right!

Foley and the rest of the paratroopers move up

Captain Foley: We gotta cut through these houses. Move it! Go!

Paratroopers move through a cemetery and finds a Flakpanzer covered by MG42s.

Captain Foley: Flakpanzer, covered by '42s! We gotta flank 'um! Martin! Check the church!

Martin takes out the machine gunners and the paratroopers kill the Flakpanzer crew

Captain Foley: Martin, plant your explosives and take that Flakpanzer out!

Martin plants the explosives.

Captain Foley: Stand back! Fire in the hole!

Explosive explode

Captain Foley: Okay, move. Move!

They find another Flakpanzer, and Martin flanks it

Captain Foley: You did good, son! Blow 'er up!

Flakpanzer explodes

Captain Foley: There's one more! Get your butt moving!

They work through the buildings and find the last Flakpanzer

Captain Foley: Work your way toward it! Shut her down!

Captain Foley: Martin - explosives - go!

American Paratrooper 1: I want an aid station over here!

American Paratrooper 2: Clear up!

American Paratrooper 3: Clear down!

American Paratrooper 4: Secure the area!

American Paratrooper 5: Clear over here boss!

Paratroopers converge on Captain Foley for a debriefing.

Captain Foley: All right fellas, take five, but listen up. We'll hold this position 'til reinforced, but this is just one tiny village in a war and country full of 'um, so our work has just begun. For those of you who've seen your first action - welcome to the Big Time. For those of you who've seen it before, trust me, you ain't seen nothin' yet. We'll redeploy those German machine guns, setting up a defensive perimeter. Keep your guard up and your buddies in mind. Good work. Call of Duty Transcripts Singleplayer
