to larger craft and boarded for the invasion. and these are units of the airborne division, amusing themselves. and i don't have to tell you who man is imitating. he was a notre dame football one time, and i was told later on that he was killed in the action. of course every ship had a mascot. and ours was no different. provided for their .ascot's welfare with the making of a life preserver, just like the ones wore themselves. and then one afternoon lieutenant patton briefed the told them we would be sailing that afternoon. and they let out a cheer because they weree job waiting for, way wanted to get it done and go home. l.c.i. number 4

with the commander moving out into the channel. was a tremendous sight to see ships from one end of the horizon to the other. of all kinds. they tell me there was well over 1,000 ships. we thought this was just another exercise as we felt that we'de be turned around, go back and try again another day. on into we continued the night, we knew it was the real thing. of ae time we had a bit scare. they said there was a submarine in the area and one of the d.e. threw some bombs into the channel. and they exploded, but we never at all.attack here are some scenes actually taken close to the beach where angleips made a right turn and headed for the area land.we were to these are some scenes that i camera that was

here's one of the famous scenes taken from black and white film of two men being shot down right before your eyes. wes carryingand our own equipment, and the ship beach.nded on the the beach we were on was being attacked by enemy fire. in the previous shot you could see a bomb land not too were.om where we right tryings were to clear roads. as itea was quite cold, usually is in that part of normandy. fox hoe is aheir little deeper and we had the concretef finding a wall that helped seven as when the tide went

not come ins could close, or those that went aground had to wait for high refloated if they weren't hit. we stayed on the beach the first hole.and lived in a fox and soon, we showed some of the thet prisoners taken in area, late the first day, who captured close to the beach, and were sent back to england because there was no to keep them there. >> what role should the government play in-housing finance? to subsidize housing in this country, and we want to talk about it and the populous that it's something we should subsidize, then put it on the ballot sheet and make it clear and make it evident and make everybody aware of how much

it's costing. when you deliver it through these third party intrer prices, mae and freddie mac, when you deliver the subsidy through a public company with private shareholders, and executives who can extract a lot of that that isfor themselves, not a very good way of homeownership. >> read more of our conversation and othere en son footnotes in sundays at eight. now available at your favorite book seller. each week american artifacts takes viewers into archives, historic sites around the country. next, from our visit to the national cryptologic museum, a look at one of their exhibits about the making and breaking of and their role in u.s. history.

>> our story starts in the spring of 1942. say that thet united states navy was not in a good position. about 50 ships. we had three aircraft carriers, assorted craft. the japanese navy on the other hand at the time had over 200 and six to it a aircraft carriers. more importantly the japanese after pearl harbor, conquered over a seventh of the earth's surface in a few months time. it was an amazing military operation, and we very much underestimated the japanese. yamamoto who was in charge the naval evident was moving at

a rapid clip for a couple reasons. off, we didn't have the manpower and the resources out yet to dealic quite with the japanese operation. he's movingr reason quickly is he wants to end the war in a short period of time. why? well, he figured correctly that it would take about a year for convert factories to from peace time to war time production. that 12 month limit this been reached the factories so manygin to churn out guns and planes and tanks that japan would eventually be overwhelmed. he's seeking to end the war as quickly as he k. the american navy is like a boxer on the more punch and he'll be down for the count ask he wants to throw that punch now rather than later. he left japan in the spring of '42 with the largest fleet in naval warfare up to that point in time. he's going to attack an american island, the 50 ships will come out to defend it.

destroy them with his overwhelming us in and he is hoping and braying this roosevelt will sign a peace treaty with japan that will leave them in control of vast regions of the pacific. now, las vegas hadn't been created yet, it was a bus stop desert, but if there had been odds makesser he time, they would have given all the advantages to the japanese. were like a football team that was 16-0 and barely scored upon. amazingly the japanese do not win the battle of midway. that's because we had great leadership ourselves. this is a photo of admiral nimitz, a man who was able to restore morale quickly after pearl harbor, but nimitz is on the only laboring under a of resources and manpower, but he also has another challenge and that is this. we have not yet broken japan's naval code. harbor we got smart and we began to apply more manpower and resources to

military codes. and there were any number of organizations that were devoted doing just that. they are working every day to break japanese systems. there's another organization in washington called op 20g that is thing.he same work,a lot of very tough in may of 1942, they achieve a breakthrough and they begin to portions of japanese naval messages to the point where they whatretty much ascertain the japanese are going to do. when they look at the messages, to see clearly that the next objective for japan is a.f. the next question of course, what does a.f. correspond to? to the conclusion, because he had been doing this type of analysis for quite a while, that a.f. was definitely midway island. most importantly he convinced

casethat's this was the and nimitz informed the marines on my way to be ready for a massive japanese invasion. so far the plan seems to be going quite well. there in --was the problem was this. in washington were not quite sure that they were on the right track. ordered to putr this plan on the shelf. andthey did question him ,asically second guessed him not so much because they weren't confident in his leadership abilities, but because they were worried.

asked admiraly nimitz to help him with a man to prove this they were right. he respectfully requested nimitz order the marines on midway to go to their radio center and falseut what will be a message. a message that will say that the water plant on the island that draws in sea water and turns it into fresh drinking water is there's no that fresh drinking water on the island. now, that message is sent out that it'se fact false, there's plenty of wanting water, but they the japanese to think there's a problem. they prayed that the japanese would intercept it, guess what, d. how do we know? days later there's a message guam, and it's intercepted by the americans, who can read when wessages now, break the message it is the minutes of an intelligence tokyo athat was held in few days prior. and guess what one of the topics of conversation was, a.f. is short of water.

now nimitz has proved his point the early parts of this battle were a challenge despite the fact we knew the direction the japanese were approaching from. the pacific ocean is a big place. we had lots of different elements, but trying to locate the japanese fleet, we had little trouble doing it and we've lost a lot of great pilots in the beginning of this battle. however, when you know what your adversary is going to do and you have a battle plan, and they can only guess what you are doing. sooner or later, if you keep pressing, you will gain an advantage. divene 4, collection of bombers from the enterprise and yorktown found three of japan's top of the lines carriers in close proximity in 25 minutes, this was the result will stop naval forces were able to destroy fourth carrier that afternoon. it's worth noting all four of those carriers had been part of the raid on pearl harbor and

they were now gone forever. most importantly, it will be the united states on the attack him on the offense and after several more years of money fighting, japan will surrender in the fall of 1945. midway was definitely the turning point. these don't go back to the wonderful organization you work for and tell everybody we won the battle of midway because of cryptology. cryptologist don't win battles. cryptologist help, but you've got to have soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines willing to stand in harm's way and carry the fight to the enemy. you also have to have guns, planes, tanks, and implements of war. but it can be a huge help because it will help you know what the enemy is going to do before they do it. odds ofnow that, the victory are going to go up and something else will happen as well. 300 people at the battle of midway.
