Original Note:
“First boats” probably refers to Able Co, 116th infantry battalion, who had the highest casualty rate of the first wave. Their after action report assessed 2/3 casualty rate, many from drowning in deep water. https://www.dday-overlord.com/en/battle-of-normandy/after-action-reports/29th-infantry/116th-ir-1st-bn-a-co
