Synopsis for "The D-Day Sun"

The D-Day sun was supposed to rise at 6:22 A.M. 18 minutes before it was supposed to rise, a navy frogman, a Mustang pilot, and a lone commando began to rush into their missions in an attempt to complete them before sunrise. The frogman dove into the ocean and climbed up a wall, but was spotted by the guards, who responded with machine gun fire. The frogman took cover underwater and armed an explosive device, using it to destroy the machine gun nest. Next, the pilot attempted to reach his target, but was unsuccessful, so he decided to try again. Meanwhile, the commando stepped foot on the shore, but was trapped by barbwire, only to be set free, when a machine gun opened fire on him, but hit a landline instead, breaking the wire. Next, the commando threw a grenade at the machine gun nest, destroying it. The Mustang pilot made another run on his target, destroying an ammo stockpile. Suddenly, the D-Day sun had risen and the Allied Forces began their invasion.
