Imagine...being 19 or 20 or so, jumping by yourself onto a continent controlled by an enemy that many feel will win the war. You've got your carbine, a couple mags of ammo, a beacon and a job to do with dozens of men counting on you for the success of their mission, and maybe their lives. If you don't pull this off, the invasion may fail, and there won't be enough men, materiel, or possibly the will to try again.
No surprise those guys got a little wacky on D-Day minus 1!
I hope I'm not confusing his story with another guy, but IIRC, he ended up getting captured, then he escaped, then he ended up fighting with one of our allies' troops (maybe the Soviets) for a while before he could get back to the American front.
