79 years ago tonight,

Lt. Col. Bob Wolverton stood on an earth bank at the Exeter Airfield in England as he watched his 800-man battalion prepare themselves for their rendezvous with destiny. After nearly two years of training together, D-Day was only hours away.

While his paratroopers checked weapons, put gear on, and darkened their faces, Lt. Col. Wolverton gathered them on the parade ground. He wanted to address his beloved battalion for one last time.

This is what he said...

An Anacortes connection was made during our trip to Europe last September. My wife and I brought a flag that once flew over Causland Memorial Park where these men are remembered by their hometown.

22 men from Anacortes lost their lives during WWII, two of whom died in France in the summer of 1944. I carried this flag as we walked on Omaha Beach in the very sector where one man was killed and to the grave of another who was lost the following month in July 1944.

“We’re not leaving him.”
The heroes of Ten Horsepower.

On February 20th, 1944, the 351st Bomb Group flew out of their base at Polebrook, England. The B-17s headed to Leipzig, Germany to bomb aircraft factories, one of the planes on this mission was called “Ten Horsepower.” Near their target, Ten Horsepower was attacked head on by German fighters. The nose and cockpit were shot to pieces. Ronald Bartley (Co-Pilot) had his head blown off, and (Pilot) C. Richard Nelson was incapacitated after nearly half his face was shot away. Joe Martin (Bombardier) climbed into the cockpit, leveled the aircraft and bailed out after thinking that both pilots were killed. The plane began to spiral downward, pinning the crew so bad they could barely move.

Carl Moore (Top Turret Gunner) crawled on the floor to the cockpit and pulled on both control columns. Moore’s efforts got the bomber level again after descending 15,000 feet while under fighter attack. Walter Truemper (Navigator) and Archie Mathies (Flight Engineer) took over the controls, keeping it airborne. With all four engines running well, they decided to stay in the plane. As the crew attempted to move the bodies, they discovered Nelson was still alive.

As Ten Horsepower reached Polebrook, Truemper radioed the control tower and presented their situation to base commander Colonel Eugene Romig. Mathies believed he could land the plane, Romig gave the approval. After two erratic attempts, Romig had Mathies circle back and ordered them to bailout near the airfield. Carl Moore shook hands with Truemper and Mathies before jumping, he was the last crewman to get out.

Col. Romig took off in another B-17 to guide them down. (See pictures) Mathies had the plane climbing and diving so much that Romig couldn’t get close enough to help. He ordered them to fly towards the sea and bailout. Truemper replied that Nelson was still alive and couldn’t be moved. They were not going to leave him. Ten Horsepower violently crash landed in a field, Mathies and Truemper were killed instantly. Nelson initially survived but died an hour later.

Crisbecq Battery played a vital role for the Germans on D-Day. Crisbecq shot it out with U.S. Navy ships on June 6, 1944, sinking the USS Corry. It was attacked on June 7, by the American 4th Infantry Division. After a hellacious 4 days of fighting where occupation of the battery went back and forth, most of the remaining German defenders fought their way out on June 11, before it was entirely overrun by American forces. Today, Crisbecq Battery is a popular area to check out in the Normandy area, almost all the battle-damaged bunkers and structures are still there with most being accessible like this tobruk.

Blackhearted Devils - Nov. 2021 showcase
Blackhearted Devils - Nov. 2021 showcase

A Blackhearted Devils update was promised and now it's been delivered! Highly suggested you read the post before watching. Many of you followed this page when it was named Blackhearted Devils, it is a short film focusing on a squad of U.S. Army Paratroopers in WWII. This project is still very much alive, very much alive. It was initially shot in 2014 but ended up being incomplete. That fault belonging to me (Mitchell Babarovich). The project was shelved in 2015 as I began to revise the script. At the end of 2017, I finished an early draft of the new script which also tied in what we had shot back in 2014. Every fall since 2018, we have been filming Blackhearted Devils and are closing in on wrapping up principal photography for good. Everything that has been shot already has been edited, color corrected and ready for our sound designer. This means our process has quick turnarounds from shoots to editing, something we didn't have in 2014. You live & you learn. A lot of folks have been involved in the making of this production, despite delays we did not give up on this. This project needed time dedicated to it, this took a few years in order for things to fall into place. Those currently involved have been going full throttle. Like those in 2014, this wouldn't have happened without everybody's contributions. We have a sneak peek of a clip from the film, sound is missing because it hasn't been put in yet but you'll get an idea of the visual style. Atop this clip is part of the original soundtrack by Eli Knutsen. My hope is that this clip brings many of you joy & restores the excitement for Blackhearted Devils. Keep following Pursuit Pix for more updates on the production. -Mitchell Babarovich Director & Screenwriter for BHD.

United States Rifle, Caliber .30-06, Model 1903. Commonly referred to as the M1903 Springfield or '03 Springfield The M1903 served as the standard issue service rifle of the U.S. military from 1903-1936. Chambered in .30-06, the manually operated Springfield held a 5 round internal magazine that could be fed with a stripper clip or by individual cartridges. Known for it's accuracy & reliability, the 1903 was more or less an American copy of the venerable Mauser design. The Springfield could be fitted with a bayonet or grenade launcher. The shining moment for the Springfield is World War One, it was carried by soldiers & Marines during America's combat chronicle in Europe from October 1917 through November 1918. That said, only 25% of the American Expeditionary Force was armed with the 1903 rifle, most troops were outfitted with the M1917 Enfield. While it would eventually be replaced by the semi automatic, 8 shot M1 rifle in 1936, the Springfield saw plenty of use in Europe & the Pacific throughout World War Two. The 1903 predominately armed the United States Marine Corps during the battle of Guadalcanal in August 1942. Several rear echelon & stateside units carried the Springfield as their primary weapon, this included: Engineer & Construction Battalions, truck drivers, military police, etc. Several variants of the Springfield would be manufactured throughout it's service life, this included scoped variants for sniping and an improved sight on the M1903A3 outfitted with a rear aperture. This variant in this video is an M1903A1 manufactured in 1938 by Springfield Armory.
