Liberty Ship crossing the North Atlantic. |
|
In part two of the story, the rifle, along with thousands of others, is loaded onto the Liberty Ship Donald E. Shea for delivery to England to help support the fast-approaching D-Day Invasion. The crew includes a cantankerous chief engineer with a litany of stories about how he lost his two missing fingers, a by-the-book captain, a young farm boy on his first trip to sea … and a Nazi saboteur bent on stopping the ship from ever reaching England. |
