Henderson's Boys: Eagle Day
“‘Get your head out the window. They’re expecting us to arrive on a motorbike.’us ‘It’s us,’ PT screamed. ‘Shampoo, shampoo! The Germans are behind us!’ Streams of bullets whizzed past PT’s head and Eugene had no option but to turn off the narrow harbour road. The two Kübelwagens running behind had stopped at the first sign of gunfire and soldiers were jumping out and running on to the beach, or taking firing positions behind their vehicles.
More bullets crashed into the bodywork as Eugene’s Peugeot pitched upwards on to a sandbank and clattered through reed beds before breaking on to open beach. The tide was in and they came to a halt with the front wheels and steaming radiator in the sea.
‘Shampoo!’ Eugene yelled, raising his hands in surrender as he stepped out into the wash and ran towards the pier. PT followed, but lowered his hands as the Germans running along the beach started shooting from behind.
Henderson told Khinde to stay in position and stop the two Kübelwagen...s, while he moved back towards the pier to see what was occurring on the beach.MoreLess
