Sans rencontrer de sérieuse résistance, il entrat dans la ville, dont il s’empara sans coup férir. Devenu le maître absolu de la grande cité, il l’occupa dit-on près de 7 ans consécutifs et sans difficultés. Notons que le gouvernement de Bel Kadi s’est accompli avec ses propres moyens et sans se compromettre par une alliance quelconque avec les espagnols ….Cet évènement extraordinaire eut lieu de 1520 à 1527. ».

« Les objectifs du débarquement du 6 juin 1944 .

Le but du débarquement dans ce secteur est d'établir une tête de pont allant de Port en Bessin à la Vire et de pousser ensuite vers Caumont et Saint-Lô en même temps que la seconde armée britannique. Une fois les plages passées, les unités devront s'enfoncer vers l'intérieur pour atteindre une ligne allant de Isigny à Tour en Bessin. De plus les troupes devront faire la jonction avec les Rangers débarqués à la Pointe du Hoc à l'Ouest et le 47th Royal Marine Commando Britannique à Port en Bessin à l'Est.

L'invasion :

Les conditions météorologiques, le courant de marée et la mauvaise visibilité vont complétement désorganiser les plans prévus pour les compagnies d'assaut de la première vague. Les bombardements péliminaires effectués par l'aviation ont manqué les WN car les bombardiers, sans visibilité, ont allongé très légèrement leur largage, dispersant leurs bombes dans l'arrière pays. Ce sont des défenses allemandes intactes que les huit compagnies de la première vague vont devoir affronter.

Les blindés prévus pour supporter l'assaut des premières compagnies sont également manquants. Les chars DD du 741st Tank Bton mis à l'eau au large ont coulé sous l'effet de la mer démontée; Seuls deux chars sur 29 des compagnies B et C atteindront le rivage.

A 06 h 30 les LCA et LCVP63 approchent de la plage et le feu allemand se déchaine. Les rampes s'abaissent et c'est l'enfer. Les GI's découvrent une plage lisse, sans aucun endroit ou s'abriter et constamment balayée par les mitrailleuses, canons et mortiers allemands. De plus la plupart des barges ont dérivé vers l'Est à cause du fort courant de marée et les hommes se retrouvent en des endroits qui ne sont pas les leurs, mélangés à d'autres groupes d'autres compagnies.

La compagnie A/116 perd pratiquement tous ses officiers dans le premier quart d'heure, les hommes sont prostrés en bordure de l'eau ou derrière les obstacles et refusent d'avancer, paralysés par la terreur. A part en quelques endroits le scénario est partout le même: des hommes abrités derrière la levée

63 LCA (Landing Craft Assault) ; LCVP (Landing Craft Vehicle, Personnel) .


250

de galets, les véhicules détruits, les obstacles ou bien allongés en bordure de l'eau et progressant en même temps que la marée montante.

Les renforts de la deuxième vague qui commencent à débarquer à partir de 07 h 00 subissent le même sort et les pertes humaines et en matériel s'accumulent avec le temps qui passe. Néanmoins à partir de 08 h 00 et sous l'impulsion d'officiers débarqués, de petits groupes vont s'organiser et partir à l'assaut des premiers points d'appui. En dépit des nombreux morts, des pertes d'équipements et de la désorganisation, les troupes d'assaut ne restèrent pas clouées au sol mais furent encouragées, portées et inspirées par quelques officiers et sous-officiers qui, bien souvent, en prirent la tête. Ces premières pénétrations influencèrent le reste de l'action du jour J sur Omaha Beach. La première condition d'amélioration de la situation sur la plage était de faire avancer les véhicules vers l'intérieur des terres. Cela fut possible après que les destroyers et l'avance du 18th Infantry Regiment eurent balayé la resistance allemande à la sortie E-1.

Dès le début d'après midi l'avance des véhicules put commencer dans la vallée du Ruquet. Pour les autres vallées de sortie, les efforts effectués pour les rendre praticables ne furent couronnés de succès qu'en fin d'après midi.

La fin de la journée :

L'attaque sur Omaha Beach avait réussi mais cela avait été beaucoup plus difficile que prévu. En général, seul un commencement de nettoyage et d'organisation sur les plages avait été effectué. Les pénétrations effectuées le matin par des groupes relativement faibles avaient manqué de puissance pour pouvoir s'enfoncer à l'intérieur des terres. Une resistance ennemie acharnée avait réduit l'avance à une bande de terre n'ayant pas plus de 2400 mètres dans la région de Colleville. Derrière les positions US avancées, des groupes ennemis continuaient à résister. Bien sûr aucun des objectifs assignés à la 1st Infantry Division pour le 6 juin ne put être atteint; ni la pénétration vers la nationale 13, ni la jonction avec les troupes britanniques à Port en Bessin ou bien celle avec les Rangers de la Pointe du Hoc.

Alors que la nuit tombe et que le premier bilan peut être fait, il faut s'accorder que ce débarquement est passé tout près du desastre. Seulement 100 tonnes de matériel ont pu être débarquées sur les 2400 prévues mais surtout les pertes humaines furent énormes. Sur les 34.000 hommes débarqués les Américains enregistraient environ 4.720 pertes sur cette bande de plage dont le nom allait devenir " Bloody Omaha ". »

Résumé de l’ouvrage :

Le débarquement anglo-américain du 6 juin 1944 en Normandie,

sur la plage d’Omaha Beach, allait changer le cours des

évènements de la deuxème guerre mondiale : entamer la

destruction de la puissance nazie et engager la libération de

l’Europe.

L’histoire du roman « Ass-A d Wussan » se déroule

essentiellement sur ce site historique de Omaha Beach en

Normandie, à plusieurs décennies d’intervalle.

En allant visiter ce site, avec sa femme et ses enfants, Murad

replonge dans ce passé encore frais et déroule devant ses yeux

et dans ses souvenirs d’enfant les évènements vécus dans son

village haut perché de Kabylie, les péripéties de la guerre, … des

guerres même.

Les souvenirs de la deuxième Guerre Mondiale, sur ce lieu

mythique, s’imbriquent alors et s’entrechoquent avec les

souvenirs de la guerre d’Algérie.

Tout au long de l’ouvrage, plusieurs acteurs vivent les différentes

péripéties de la guerre mondiale et se donnent rendez-vous,

malgré eux, dans ce site paradisiaque de Normandie qui devint

un enfer :

John, un jeune américain, authentique indien Dakota, qui

s’engage dans l’amée américaine et traverse l’Atlantique pour

défendre son pays, après l’épisode dramatique de Pearl Harbor,


255

et contribuer à libérer l’Europe.

Helmut, un paisible agriculteur de la Bavière, reconverti en soldat

de la Wermacht qui monte la garde jour et nuit dans une France

conquise, dans l’un des blaukhaus de la falaise au-dessus de

Omaha Beach.

Murad adulte et Murad enfant qui voyagent, hors du temps, dans

le réel et dans les souvenirs, entre les berges de la Manche et

les collines du village natal, à Mekraz, en Kabylie.

Sur cette plage aujourd’hui paisible, Murad tente de reconstituer

les épisodes d’horreur et de désolation qui ont, par la folie des

Hommes, détruit des milliers de vies.

Dans les yeux et les souvenirs de l’homme qu’il est devenu,

Murad revoit aussi, avec ses yeux d’enfants, les débuts de la

guerre d’Algérie à travers tous les changements survenus alors

dans son village. Les jeux des enfants qui ont brusquement

changé, les discussions des adultes qui ont changé, le ciel

même et le paysage qui ont changé aussi ; il n’y avait

brusquement plus de chiens ni de clôtures dans le village de

Mekraz.

Murad s’interroge alors profondément sur la suite des

évènements, après ce débarquement du 6 juin 1944.

Cet arsenal américain de matériel et de puissance de feu, utilisé

pour le débarquement a indéniablement libéré l’Europe et le

Monde.

C’est une œuvre historique louable.

Au lieu de continuer son œuvre de libération des peuples

opprimés, une partie de cette puissance a été détournée par les

ultra-colonialistes pour asservir d’autres peuples qui ont aussi

participé, par leur sang, à la grande libération.

Les half-tracks, les blindés, les camions GMC, les MAT 49 et les

Jeep Ford et Willys ont, quelque temps plus tard, rejoint les ports

de Marseille et de Toulon et traversé la Méditerranée pour mener

l’oeuvre de « pacification » dans cette Berbérie/Algérie meurtrie.

Murad se souvient de « l’Opération Jumelles » et de tout l’arsenal

d’acier qui a piétiné pendant des mois la piste poussiéreuse de

sont village et creusé des sillons profonds sur la place de tajmaât

et dans les mémoires des villageois.

C’est ce raté de l’histoire que Murad revoit, sans rancune, en

marchant sur le sable fin de Omaha Beach et dans les allées de

l’immense cimetière américain64…

Effectivement, dans toutes les époques, les Hommes sont

souvent amenés à commettre les mêmes erreurs.

L’Histoire n’est-elle alors qu’un éternel recommencement ?
