Interview with Charles Hagan (part 3)
Charles Hagan, Theriot:
*picking up on the story of Hagan and Haas trying to get a plaque made in their battery’s honor for their action on D-Day*
(Official records saying one thing as the men knew another from their interviewed story)
-While in reality they had landed earlier on the beach and this was because the headquarters of the battalion landed around 9:30 AM and they filled out the action reports
-They listed the first units as coming in at around 9 AM; when the enemy gun had been knocked out well before then—big controversy
