A world war 2 story

I have decided what war to wright about. I have decided to wright on the events of World War 2. Why have I chose this. It has something to do with the fact that I have seen some movies on world war 2 (Saving Private Ryan, Band of brothers, Battleground, A Walk in the Sun, and The Story of G.I. Joe). My story will be about a man who sees his his first action on Omaha Beach, survives the breakout of Normandy, gets transferred to the airborne, but on the way to the Bulge,  but on the way, his vehicle brakes down, leaving him and two other guys stranded behind German lines. The question remains. Will he live or will he DIE?
