...four beaches between the Orne and the Vire that the man-toman battle was fought in most savage fury. On Sword, Juno and Gold beaches, British and Canadian troops hurled in an astonishing force of "specialized armor" -mine-clearing tanks, pillbox-blasting tanks, ditch-filling tanks, flamethrowing tanks-but the German 716th Infantry Division, in fortified seaside hotels and summer villas, fought back viciously, inflicting 4,000 casualties...
...night the Allies poured reinforcements onto the hard-won strips of Europe-36,250 in the Utah sector, 34,250 at Omaha, 83,115 on the British-Canadian beaches and airborne area. The German infantry began to crumble. Still desperately fighting, the British punched out gains of six miles, the Canadians eight.

Moore sifted a mass of data, found that incompatibility reactions occurred at a rate ranging from i per 2,000 bottles to 1 per 10,000, with an average of 1 per 4,200. But for each obvious reaction there are at least four cases where incompatibility causes a hidden sensitization, preparing the ground for trouble with the next transfusion or the next pregnancy. So the overall risk is closer to 1 in 600, Dr. Moore concludes...
