lawton collins who emerges as one of the most competent of all us army commanders in the european theatre. he once commanded the 25th division, in -- at guadalcanal in the 1942 and since the division was known as the tropic lightning division it earned him the nickname lightning joe. well, the push is through thick country and the battle is fought more or less as i illustrated a moment ago with these kind of combined arms efforts. so you have not a full armor division like the second armor division. you have tanks, parceled out among infantry units in 4s and 5s and a dozen or whatever. to help that incremental adva e advance. and it is intensive and the navy is helping the eastern coast advance. one problem you are running into, though 4th division is heavy bunkers and for t fortifications, as you advance north. by june 23rd, 24th, you are approaching the outskirts of cherbourg. you have thousands of german soldiers there. and this is a mish-mash group under the general, you have naval people and you have luft waft and, you have tanks and you mainly are relying for the germans upon built
