Who are the top 3 sack leaders for the 49ers?
Officially, Bryant Young (89.5 sacks), Charles Haley (66.5) and Dana Stubblefield (46.5) rank as the top three sack leaders in 49ers history. However, sacks were not officially recorded until 1982. 49ers records indicate that Cedrick Hardman, who played with the 49ers from 1970-79, registered 106.5 sacks for the 49ers. Hardman's teammate Tommy Hart (with 49ers from 1968-77) is unofficially credited with 106 sacks.
It is reasonable to believe that former 49er greats such as Leo Nomellini and Charlie Krueger probably logged a significant number of sacks during their long careers. Unfortunately, their sack totals were not recorded and are lost to history.

Most of the soilders went on to the beach by using landing craft. The craft carried them from the ships to the beaches. once at the beach a ramp would drop on the front of the boat and the troops would run from the craft onto the beach.
Also, three full divisions (two American, and one British-Canadian) were dropped in by air.
Some of the bravest of the bunch came ashore hours before the mass landings in rubber boats. These men were combat engineers and they had the job of clearing mines and obstacles that would wreck the landing craft. Some of the combat engineer companies experienced 75% killed in action.
A few days after D-Day, several different types of temporary piers and docks were put in place to allow larger vessels to bring in heavier cargo.

How did people cope with rationing in World War II?
In 1942, a rationing system was set up to control the consumption of certain items such as eggs, butter, sugar, coffee, meat and fish. Americans considered rationing doing their part, and dealt with the shortages by improvising on recipes and menus, which helped in making their ration coupons go further. Even though many Americans adhered to the rationing policy, certain criminal enterprises formed a black market by which people could use cash to purchase the restricted commodities, if they didn't mind breaking the law.
