Omaha Beach

 

At dawn on 6th June 1944, the Americans landed in Normandy on a beach they codenamed Omaha. Bloody Omaha. They should have named it Hell. This photographic history of the Omaha Beach operation represents a detailed record of that infamous day in military history. The tactics, terrain, uniforms and equipment of the American soldiers and their German opponents are covered in great detail. Part One: presents the American units engaged in the operation and their history, together with the German units and their defensive positions. Part Two: gives a step-by-step account of the battle, an accurate historical narrative which includes hitherto unpublished eye-witness accounts.

 

This evocative collection of images, accompanied by detailed captions and an informative narrative, will appeal to all interested in the American divisions that landed at Omaha and their particular struggles and triumphs.
