Hmm, Seems like it be cheaper to just have a whole bunch of canaries.

juno beach on d-day, attacked by canadian forces

it's not widely known that while the americans at omaha took the worst casualties (as shown during the insane opening to saving private ryan), juno was a close second
huge numbers of landing craft were sunk by german booby traps, while the beach itself was swept by machine gun and cannon fire ... the day after the landings they managed to fight off an assault by some of the best tank units in the german army (panzer lehr and hitler youth)
we uncouth individual about trump but jesus christ, what that generation faced

I read the excellent book "A War To Be Won" (Murray & Millet) thanks to ribby and the thing that struck me was the sheer numbers of casualties described.
