Oops!
I meant “drownded”.

I wish FR had a way to delete one’s own comments.

"When you pluck, clean & cut a chicken for food, only the "chicken feet" are truly "useless"...."

You've never been to Korea...

“The Counterfeit Traitor” has been on AMC a number of times.
(a WWII double-agent story — nothing directly to do with D-Day though).

Conjugate: sneak.... snuck.... snack!!

Same forms for the verb "snicker-sneak" as in

"The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!"

That's from Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky." But maybe the meter made him disregard the grammar. Shouldn't it have been "The vorpal blade done went snicker-snack"?

I’ve done a lot of reading on World War II intelligence, and have seen lots of authors, who specialized in WW2 intelligence, and the British services, use “chicken feed” in the sense I cited. This is the first time I’ve ever encountered “chicken feet” and considering the source I’m inclined to discount it.
