Week 4 Post B

For this post I thought I would talk about the actual section and how I perceived it. As I talked about before in my other post I don’t want to give too much away but this section was very much a turning point. Once again it made me think of the large amount of things they lacked and how they still were successful. Throughout the book the Americans have been on the defensive side using every single once of their resources to put them at 100 percent efficiency. But they still got through all those obstacles and now finally they have the things they were missing and it’s a huge turning point. It’s hard to go into details about what actually happens but Burgett talks about how the Germans have pretty much had the advantage most if not all of the time.

For example in my last post I had a quote of him talking about how they had to go clear out a wooded area but the Germans had been in there for 2 days and so it had given them much time to dig in and prepare themselves. Evevn after all of that they still excel with their mission and when the aircrafts finally get the chance they drop down supplies and other things. Which means that it boosts moral and also reduces the need for using everything carefully.So this leads to a major theme as well, even if you don’t have things that are necessities and your on the defensive side of whatever your doing, if you keep working at it and stay persistent, eventually you will be successful.
