Battle Depicted in a Painting

Well, what I saw is actually engrained into a picture that was painted by Adam Sheriff Scott from my description in 1945 that took him six days to paint it. It depicts the aircraft overhead. There were 145, or there abouts, British planes shot down and only about 45 Germans and they were… the beach that we were on I could see the seawall which was supposed to be four feet high so that the tanks could go over. It wasn’t four feet, it was seven feet so the Intelligence was bad. The wounded were lying up against that seawall but the Germans had not only artillery centred on the tank landing craft and the tanks, but they also had mortars which were zeroed in behind where the men were trying to seek cover and they’re clawing away at the ground to try to get as far underneath as they could. I saw a lot of them getting killed and a lot of them being wounded and I couldn’t do a damn thing about it because I was too far. I was about twenty feet out watching all of this.
