After landing in Normandy, he led his squad of 13 paratroopers against German artillery crews shelling Utah Beach. His team not only defeated the enemy forces in the battle at Brecourt Manor but also captured a map of other artillery batteries in the area. This operation is cited to this day as an example of a skillful tactical attack of a small formation on the enemy’s stationary positions.
