where is hubner? i think there is little insight there also. this has been a small unit leader's battle. once all of the rest of them are taken care of, which is a big deal. there are only two generals in play throughout most of the day on d-day. wyman, hubner's second in command and also comports himself very well, and also dutch coda. hubner comes in around 7:00 in the evening when most of the fighting had died down. omaha beach is safe. there is still german patrols, artillery, mines, thousands and thousands of mines. the demining goes on for weeks. he comes in, and hubner had been a caged lion throughout the day. is a from the front, lead by example kind of guy. a combat soldier. his staff tell him, general, you can go ashore, but you will be cut off from communication. everything is going to be chaotic if you are not in command of things here, so you really have to kind of hunker down here, so finally, he is ashore. theets ashore, and he sees aftermath of the battle. he sees what his guys have done. there is this sense of awe. he speaks to
