Over the next couple of hours the men on the beachs had to go though hell. The "allied invaders" had to tack these beach they played a huge role in the over all sucsees of the operation. Before the landing the german beachs had to be preped by bombing by air by the united states bombers that with 1,000 ships droped 5,000 tons of bombs. The beachs were also softened up by the united states battel ships bombarding the beachs.

Although fewer Allied ground troops went ashore on D-Day than on the first day of the earlier invasion of Sicily, the invasion of Normandy was in total history's greatest water to land operation, involving on the first da

This came at a very high cost, by the end of the day more than 2,500 americans lay dead on the beach. It was a blood bath compared to the utah beach who had lost 200. June 6, 1944 was the begings of the end of the nazi empire. it was one of the most important battels in history.

Had Allied commanders known of the near-bankruptcy of troops on the German side, they would have had more cause for encouragement. The Seventh Army (German defense of Normandy) had thrown into the battle every major unit available. The commander of the Seventh Army was reluctant to commit any forces from the West (Brittany) to the invasion, fearful of a second Allied landing. Meanwhile, most German officials-were confused by Allied deception-and continued to believe that a bigger landing was still to come in the Pas de Calais.

The germans defences were not at the level that they want them to be yet. The omaha beach was almost perfect in design it left a narrow beach that had to be ran up on foot. The pillboxs were dug into the 200 foot bluffs that had a exelent vantage point and could easyl mow down troops runing up the beach. Also with the bluffs on both side they never had to worrie about a flanking attack. And a as I mentioned earlyer it was very hard to bomb it cause of the bluffs. The gap to run up was 10 square kilometers.

Well about the acual battels in more detail. engineners came in before and helped clear the may by blowing up the obstacels in the way. Then the ships bombarded the beach and fired many rockets but were out of range so the literly blew up thousands of fish but no nazis. Then many of the bombers missed there targets and they didnt just miss by a littel they missed by five miles! One reson that omaha was such a diffucult beach to tack is because its high bluffs around it witch made it hard to hit by bombardment. On omaha beach they had two huge concrete pillboxs with machine guns in them.
