Description
This illustrated book with accompanying texts offers you unique insights into the terrible battles for the beach strip with the code name "Omaha Beach" (known from films such as "Saving Private James Ryan"). This stretch of beach measured just six kilometres and yet turned out to be one of the most terrible battlefields of the war. The US soldiers who went ashore there on the morning of 6 June 1944 ran directly and defencelessly into the heaviest German defensive fire. Thousands died in the first hours of the invasion. Eventually, the GIs coined the unambiguous term "Bloody Omaha" for that stretch of beach.
