Adverse Weather and the "Immense Humanity" of Chaplain Skinner — James Holland — Holland recounts the invasion operations wherein deteriorating weather conditions necessitated tactical modifications to landing procedures for DD (Duplex Drive) amphibious swimming tanks, forcing commanders to adapt operational plans under combat conditions. Holland emphasizes Reverend Leslie Skinner's "immense humanity" demonstrated through meticulous casualty documentation and dignified burial protocols for the dead despite overwhelming carnage and logistical chaos. Holland documents that the Sherwood Rangers rapidly captured tactical objectives despite suffering early command setbacks and organizational disruption, establishing forward positions and sustaining offensive momentum despite mounting casualties and command coordination challenges characterizing D-Day operations.
