Many of the survivors.. They should be teaching courses in our schools so we don't forget the good we have done in our past. Don't forget such an extraordinary national heritage.
They were and are all heroes. To face that kind of slaughter and keep charging forward...
there is no other word..Hero.. So many died, wounded and survived to continue fighting..
they said "Heroism was the standard of the day". They changed the course of the war in one day, One terrible day. It was the beginning of the end of the Reich on the Western Front.
And also there where no tall ass bunkers there too I was in Normandy and I saw non did u? Movies are not historically accurate unless it was documented when it actually happened.
Normandy is one of the most dead places on earth. It just feels dead and cursed, like any place where there has been a lot of death. It is almost supernatural how strong the presence of death is in the air.
fairplay to the Americans who fought....but any American documentery of WW2 generally completely disregards the efforts of their allies. 1000s of British and Canadian troop landed at Normamdy as well but are rarely mentioned in US documentaries......2/3s of figher and fighter/bomber aircraft supporting the invasion were RAF!!!!!!!!! not American
its weird to think that anyone would have wanted to live through that cause its horrific. But I would in some aspects. Both of my grandfathers served on the Canadian side (I am to canadian, 19 years runnin) truly honored to have that in my blood. RIP
@tninbredretard It was fucking hell you sick sad pathetic kid! That is the most disrespectful thing I've read on the internet! Show some respect! It was not FUN!
My Dad was at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944. The next day, June 7th he turned 19 years old. What a birthday present. He went on to fight in the Battle of The Bulge and survived the war. He was honorably discharged in 1945. He died from Leukemia on October 1, 1982. I miss you Dad.
Amazes me how 67 years ago that beautiful beach was a killing zone. I had an uncle who was on Omaha Beach and was in the first wave and fortunately survived though he was wounded later in the war. May those who died on Omaha Beach continue to rest in peace.
@m3talcorps3 I know it's amazing. That beautiful Beach was covered with blood at one time...I didn't have any relatives in World War 2 ,but my Papaw (or Grandfather) moved to America during the time of it (He was German)
The young guys that hit that beach had no experience of war, they were trained & aware but nothing could have prepared them for what was waiting for them. Like the Russian soldiers thrown into the hell of Stalingrad, these U.S. boys faced a situation that no human being should ever have to experience. Most of the German's had already experienced war, they were ready & hardened to it. Full respect to the veterans of Omaha Beach, how they faced that day & came through it none of us can imagine.
The tanks where suppossed to give the infantry land support. Within ten minutes every officer and sergeant of the 116RCT where either dead or wounded and within a few hours the americans had lost 3,000 soliders on the beach. By 10am only 300 men had managed to struggle to ashore. Only 100 tons of material made it to shore out of the 2,400 planned. In total the americans lost 4,700 men at omaha.
In the fog morning, the B17 bombers had overshot the nazi defenses by 5Kilometers and most of the naval bombardment fell short so the Nazi defenses (dig into the cliffs) where still very strong. Instead of just 800 men of the weak 716th division, the nazis just had moved into there crack 352nd division. As the amercians where landing , the powerful tide had swept many men and vehicles back out to the sea and 10 landing craft had sank. In particular it sank all but 2 of the floating tanks
coming ashore on that beach. You have no idea what kind of that was. I was part of the 29th infantry division on omaha. we barely got out of the boat. it was hell on earth.- My grandfather
@mac10prouductions - They are Beach Obstruction. Each one of them had a mine or uncapped artillary shell on them. The sat just below the waterline at full tide and took out many LC and DD Tanks...Not many people know, that although Omaha and Utah was the beaches of US assault troops, it was British Engineers and Royal Nave Obstical clearnace units that had the job of getting rid of these before the troops went up...Notably the Rangers
@DrCrazyCarl The heroes of the operation was EVERY MAN that set off for those beaches that day and others. Some were just luckier than others, NONE were more honorable for dying than those that made the hill and saw the fruits of their sacrifices. It is insulting to insinuate that the last generation to go to war for honorable reasons and not political gain were somehow different by their outcomes. I thank all of them and salute them all as heroes.
ny great grandfather is a veternen of WW II he is 89 yrs old and alive he is very funny sometimes eventhought he got his finger shot off on a navy ship
@aqualobster The forces had to spread their mass across the beach or they would all get pinned down and shot or mortared to death. Sacrifices had to be made.
@FawlynXor wait, figured out all the boats landed off course due to haziness and the prior air bombardments hit off the mark 0_o soo many guys, sooo little cover....
@aqualobster Its bad enough half the men had to swim there way up to the beach with 60lbs of equitment on and massive amounts of fire power coming down on them. Boats werent even making it to the beach they were dropping off the men 10 20 feet from the beach from which half the men drowned before even making onwards. Tanks were suppossed to support the troops as they landed, 32 tanks were deployed and only 2 made it on the beach.
@MrRare16 I posted a few facts about what happened on ohama beach if your interesed in learning how brutal and disatarous it was on omaha beach. Iam quite the history buff myself and have been reading and looking up articles on the dday landing for the last 10 years. No one really knows how bad it really was on the beach the day only the men who where actually there but the facts and information given my historians and veterans are as close as a person will get to no besides watching spr.
@MrRare16 One of the reason's why many of tanks didnt make it ashore was because when they where first orginally tested out on the sea the waves where very calm and the sea wasnt violent until june the 6th where it was the opposite the wave's where very bad and the sea was violent making landing crafts tip over and the floating tanks ending up sinking.
I recently took a trip to Normandy with my father, and he and I walked the entire length of Omaha Beach from end to end. It was a very humble experience, to know that I was standing where hundreds of young men gave up their lives, so that we have the lives we have today. It was the greatest trip of my life, and I hope to take my kids back someday.
@Rickzzza887 Which is exactly why we need to remember what happened at these sites. Remember the sacrifices that these men gave, all so that we have our freedom today, we can never let what they did be forgotten.
@HawK047 And not one of those people you speak of from another country cares how many Americans died in the war. America didnt start the war, if fact we stayed away from it until the Japanese decided to tap us on the shoulder. And how do you even know accurately to make such a statement? Do you know every American? Have you sat and interviewed every American on how they feel about other countrymen who died in WWII? Don't even bother with such lame comments.
@MrPROUSA if he is British then he probably has because when i was at school when we studied history more specifically WW2 we always had a WW2 veteran at some point or another american and British and they always had a smile on their faces and was happy to answer questions. so i care for every single allied troop who died on those crappy beaches of France and throughout Europe because without them we would not be here i honestly think he is referring to kids as they think they Won WW2 Respect.
@TheBenultimate I'm brittish but I agree yes Britain and America were big parts in WW2 but there were other countrys that helped I agrre with you It's not just Brittian and america it's loads of other countrys too
@LegoScotsMan yes i know i was referring to america as in canada and the us and i acknowledge the fact there were a ton of allied forces i was just saying american and british because the only veterans we saw were american (canadian,us) and british but i did say i care for all of the allied troops previously.
@TheBenultimate Now I know what you mean but the wasn't just Americain,Canadiens and Brittish.The was French (Before the got occupied),The Aulstralians,Greeks and lots more.But I agree the only armys mostly showing is the Americains and Canadians and some brits in the backround.but there was lots more forces at d-day too.
I KNOW how many men Germany lost, it is very sad. And even more importantly I thanks our ally's casualties: Canada, Australia, England,(France, not too many) Russia. Thank god for Russia. I have thought about that many times, and I am sure I am no the only American who thinks in this way considering our pop. is over 300,000,000. But I guess you are just being as bad as those who you are accusing, with your sweeping generalizations of Americans. Nationalism, what a great thing indeed.
@Confrontationify a nazi beated a record with killing over 40 000 people per DAY! i mean... think of how many people that died... just wanted to let you know
France : military dead = 300 000 ; Civil dead = 450 000 ; Total = 750 000 dead
USA : military = 350 000 ; civil = 0
My grand father died during the invasion of Netherlands and Belgium, and this family (his parents, his sister, and three cousins) diedin a bombing. The bombs were British
You are right, I shouldn't have wrote 'not too many'. Touched a nerve there, but here are the more accurate numbers for France and America: France 1939 Pop. 41,700,000 Miltary Deaths: 217,600 Civilian: 350,000 Total: 567,600...United States 1939 Pop:131,028,000 Military: 416,800 Civilian:1,700 Total:418,500...but this is miniscule next to the losses in the Eatern Front. Say again: thank god for Russia
anybody who thinks that omaha beach landing where a failure is plain stupid. they cocked it up yes, but i dont see the failure? the allies took omaha beach, how is that failure?
the beach is wider than i expected. i guess its 1k more or less and the Allies had to reach the bunkers with MGs shooting at them. It makes me shiver to imagine being in a real campaign like Dday
the only problem i had was trying to decipher your comment -_- A 5 year old dyslexic retard has better grammar and spelling than you. Btw uhm how can the germans steal it off the russians who stole it off you if it was a german "Einstein" that came up with the theory and pulled it off? The russians didnt get access to that info until they used a spy to get the details years later? Oh secondly my problem is that your an American....full stop...Enjoy your recession dumb ass.
@billydakid69er I love how other idiotic stupid sheep such as yourself, try and discriminate America, yet how ignorant you are to the fact that everyone emigrates here such as Einstein, because of such freedoms we are able to have due to the courage our soldiers give and what a great country our founding fathers created, and it still stands today as the most powerful country, in the world. face the facts buddy, America was and still is, land of the free and home of the brave. America Always.
@prodigiousbastard Yes, every country as some sort of nationalism.. what i don't understand, is why people like you think nationalism is bad? please explain to me WHY IT IS BAD? Our country has proven itself worthy for us as American citizens TO BE nationalistic and patriotic, proud of living in such a great country, because of the sacrifices our troops have made. I love how people like you always get showed up, and your only response is an assumption that nationalism is bad.
my grand uncle was on that god for sakin beach and he would never come back
(im not for sure whether it was normandy or some pacific island, grand parents forgot what branch he joined but pretty sure it was omaha because of the date)
@zbyman. Uhm the nukes were invented by Germans, yous only used it cause yous failed at stopping the japs on the ground. Yous came into the war at the end and claim yous are the best? Another typical stuck up self-centered American. You'd start more wars than yous actualy win. Btw thanks for the fucked up economy
@billydakid69er wow haha wtf is yous? fuck u dude i did not fuck the econamy im 100% conservtie,btw the germans got thar nuks from the russans that stole it frome the usa in the manhaten project,ps i bet ur a fucking dimacrat! god dam people like u just need to get a fucking life!
@billydakid69er btw did i ever say eney thing about the fucking gumans?you ar the one thats stuck up in your commint i dint say eney of that bs exsept the nuks what is ur fucking problam?
1. The nuclear weapon was developed and proven by Americans, not Germany.
2. Both were used to save lives, and for political posturing. Where do you get the Japanese weren't stopped on the ground? Hell, you had Aussie troops helping.
3. The US came in 2 yrs after the start of a 6 plus yr war.
i sult those who died in ww2.im only 16 but im going in the army win i graduate high school.there will never be another battle as bloody as the beach landing that day.every thing is all nukes now, but amireca is the only nation to ever use a nuke wich was used in ww2 on japan,USA ALL THE WAY!
China and North Korea oh and Cuba have them but don't use tham I am suprised China doesn't nuke us but I find that brave of you to join the army after highschool I suppose you are in JROTC?
Imagine riding on these boats. seeing bunkers in the beach, knowing that you or one of your friends were going to die for sure, and even with that in their heads they marched down from those ships, sights blurry, stomachs overturned. I will never understand what they went through, and i am kinda glad of that.
I've visited Omaha Beach, and walked the entire length of it with my dad when we visited Normandy a couple summers back, it's a very peaceful and quiet place despite what went on there so many years ago, it was the trip of a lifetime and i'll always remember it. There is a plaque that is located in the serviceman's cemetary above Omaha that I would like to quote "Look how many there were, look how young they were, hold your tears and be silent".

I am Italian, class 62, have not known luckily the horrors of the war but every year, for June 6, my thought goes to all that young men that have taken part to the D-Day.
Many of them have paid with the tallest price our liberty, I will never stop thanking their relatives and they, that God blesses you!
i wouldnt say the defences were lighter, sure the pillboxes were larger and had alot more MG's and At guns but at the other beaches alot more were found. there are lots of reason Omaha was the bloodiest, probably because most of the soldiers were green the rockets landed short, the DD tanks were launched to far out and they didnt use any funnies like the brits and canadians did. either way blaming anyone or having a go at anyone is ridiculous. they all fought bravely and all were important
Omaha was a typical U.S army fuck-up, hundreds more men died than should have.... 18 tanks to support the assault were launched 3 miles out in rough seas, eyewitnesses said it was obvious they would all sink.. which they did.....the british tanks were launched 1/2 mile from beach...most, not all, made it. There wasnt any natural cover on omaha beach, the idea was to make craters, two rocket ships were assigned this, they launched again from too far out and were 1/4 mile short....WANKERS.
@thechelseaplumber Dont blame the soldiers it was all the fucking air force's fault. There didnt hit shit and left those poor soldiers to be slaughtered.
Sir - As a retired officer in the USAF and a pilot of B52s, I must take your statement as that from a 10 yr old. Both of my Uncles were (1) Glider Pilot and (2) C47 Pilots and they made their drops as per the jump sections assignments given at the initial briefing....both did NOT return from this "Great Crusade" so, if you have never served (I'm guessing you didnot-being 10 yrs old)....think before you speak. LtCol B Vasal, Ret USAF (1963-1985)
@golfshopbob Sir iam 29 year's of age and im sorry for my poor grammar in the comment i made earlier. But everyone know's that is the reason why omaha beach was a complete failure. Bomber's bragged how good they were and ended up missing everything in site. Tank's also would have made a huge difference if they would at least got one or too of them onto the beach to provide ground support for the troops but have of them where floundering in the english channel.
@zeropluszeroiszero Pardon me...Omaha was NOT "a complete failure". You, like so many, make this a great drama, when in truth it was a fairly typical amphibious assault. It was tougher than the other beaches, but in truth, it was a great success. Even though D-Day objectives were not met from this beach (they rarely are) the Germans tied up alot of troops in this sector that. Remember the Germans behind Omaha suffered terrible casualties also.
@zeropluszeroiszero I doubt it, otherwise you wouldn't keep spitting out crap. "Failure and disaster", so where do you get this from. Some heavy casualties? Nothing different than most other amphib. landings. Beach defense were broken by days end, most by early afternoon. A plan that went awry? Don't they all. So tell me where the failure and disaster are.
@Toddinfantry Uh yeah dude i talked to you like 3 weeks ago, you got pissed at me cause at me cause i was suppossdly making false statements about how brutal the landings where on omaha beach, Remember i was the one who said the bodies where stacked as high as 6 feet in the air and ever 6 feet for 3 miles there was a dead gi soldier. I told you to go read the crys of omaha beach. Look in your inbox then you will remember.
@zeropluszeroiszero Ah yes, must be gettin old. So why all the high drama over this landing and referring to it as a failure. At no point did it fail...screwed up as a soup sandwich I'll agree with, but it did not fail and hence was not a disaster. Yard per yard the landings at Tarawa, Peleliu, and Iwo were far worse, and they are not labeled failures or disasters. Maybe I am getting as blind as forgetful, I just can't see what the chip is you have concerning this beach. Please explain.
canadians advanced, but nobody had the fight the us had in front of them on omaha. The other beaches had lighter germans there. Not to take anything from canada. they showed up and fought like the others.
Canaca did not have as much opposition on thier beach as did the American beaches.The British and United States Navy did a fair job of clearing gold sword and juno but Omaha and utah were diferent storys.

im one of those people that know the lines the saving private ryan cause i watch it too much.
-clear the raft 30 seconds, and god be with you. - I need five men juicy opprotunity, and one man case the ammo. keep the sand out of your weapons and keep those obsticales clear. I'll see you on the beach.
A soldier died in the field of battle and came up to the gates of heaven, where he met God. He said to God," Lord, I know I did many things i ain't proud of, and many more that you won't approve of, so if you send me to hell, I won't argue." God stood there for a moment, and then turned to the gatekeeper of heaven. "Let him in", he said.? The gatekeeper, confused, asked why. God looked down at the soldier and said," This man just came from hell."
For anyone who is actually interested, the video appears to be taken from WN62, which is just to the East of the US War Cemetary. This particular "Wasps Nest" probably accounted for a significant proportion of the casualties on D-Day at Omaha Beach. One soldier on his own is thought to have accounted for more than 10% of the total casualties on the day while manning just the one Machine Gun.
@MyHeat6 You still find stuff like rifle cartridges and the like...I'm sure offshore is still littered with little pieces....but the area's probably been gone over 1000s of times with metal detectors and the like and 67 years on, most of the stuff is rotted or rusted away...
i have freinds that hae germans for what they did but it wasent the soldiers folts they were just doing what they were ordered too it was the genaral's the nazi's whos falt it was
@popitmonful why? re-enactments are laim and come nowhere close to reality. in the end, i always walk away from battle re-enactments with disgust, since most of the "actors" are just fat, loser, slobs, who would never make it as real soldiers, and look nothing like real fighting men, & come nowhere near to portraying the reality of the actual battle & those who fought in it. re-enactments, in my opinion are tacky and laim, and just do a discredit to the actual battle. so ur dumb, shut up.
@Salvus967 dude your an idiot they do re-enactments to show us what the war was and there not going to be exactly like the real battles. so your dumb, shut up.
@voldagar you wanna know what war was? read a book, cus it will give u a better impression than a bunch of fat asses that can't run more than 10 meters. those re-enactments dont come anywhere near to reality. just cus ur dad, uncle, brother and probably yourself are battle re-enactors, you dont need to get so offended.
Great video, it is unbeleivable on how peacful it is now, for years i had read books on D-Day and the Omaha beach sector, and kind of understood the difficulty and horror the US troops faced to take that beach head, but to see it on film was another thing, considering an estimation of 3,000 killed, wounded and missing on that beach and further in land on that day June 6th. Its for reasons of this that i visited Normandy, when you see all those grave stones, you think, where is the glory in war!
I like this video. Your respect for what was done and the sacrifices made is very evident. Thank you from Ohio USA.

Some were just luckier than others, NONE were more honorable for dying than those that made the hill and saw the fruits of their sacrifices. It is insulting to insinuate that the last generation to go to war for honorable reasons and not political gain were somehow different by their outcomes. I thank all of them and salute them all as heroes.

@aqualobster Its bad enough half the men had to swim there way up to the beach with 60lbs of equitment on and massive amounts of fire power coming down on them. Boats werent even making it to the beach they were dropping off the men 10 20 feet from the beach from which half the men drowned before even making onwards. Tanks were suppossed to support the troops as they landed, 32 tanks were deployed and only 2 made it on the beach.

@MrRare16 One of the reason's why many of tanks didnt make it ashore was because when they where first orginally tested out on the sea the waves where very calm and the sea wasnt violent until june the 6th where it was the opposite the wave's where very bad and the sea was violent making landing crafts tip over and the floating tanks ending up sinking.

It was the greatest trip of my life, and I hope to take my kids back someday.

i wouldnt say the defences were lighter, sure the pillboxes were larger and had alot more MG's and At guns but at the other beaches alot more were found. there are lots of reason Omaha was the bloodiest, probably because most of the soldiers were green the rockets landed short, the DD tanks were launched to far out and they didnt use any funnies like the brits and canadians did. either way blaming anyone or having a go at anyone is ridiculous. they all fought bravely and all were important
jwinlesta 7 months ago
Omaha was a typical U.S army fuck-up, hundreds more men died than should have.... 18 tanks to support the assault were launched 3 miles out in rough seas, eyewitnesses said it was obvious they would all sink.. which they did.....the british tanks were launched 1/2 mile from beach...most, not all, made it. There wasnt any natural cover on omaha beach, the idea was to make craters, two rocket ships were assigned this, they launched again from too far out and were 1/4 mile short....WANKERS.

Tank's also would have made a huge difference if they would at least got one or too of them onto the beach to provide ground support for the troops but have of them where floundering in the english channel.
zeropluszeroiszero 7 months ago
@zeropluszeroiszero Pardon me...Omaha was NOT "a complete failure". You, like so many, make this a great drama, when in truth it was a fairly typical amphibious assault. It was tougher than the other beaches, but in truth, it was a great success. Even though D-Day objectives were not met from this beach (they rarely are) the Germans tied up alot of troops in this sector that. Remember the Germans behind Omaha suffered terrible casualties also.

I told you to go read the crys of omaha beach. Look in your inbox then you will remember.

@zeropluszeroiszero Ah yes, must be gettin old. So why all the high drama over this landing and referring to it as a failure. At no point did it fail...screwed up as a soup sandwich I'll agree with, but it did not fail and hence was not a disaster. Yard per yard the landings at Tarawa, Peleliu, and Iwo were far worse, and they are not labeled failures or disasters. Maybe I am getting as blind as forgetful, I just can't see what the chip is you have concerning this beach. Please explain.

A soldier died in the field of battle and came up to the gates of heaven, where he met God. He said to God," Lord, I know I did many things i ain't proud of, and many more that you won't approve of, so if you send me to hell, I won't argue." God stood there for a moment, and then turned to the gatekeeper of heaven. "Let him in", he said.? The gatekeeper, confused, asked why.

For anyone who is actually interested, the video appears to be taken from WN62, which is just to the East of the US War Cemetary. This particular "Wasps Nest" probably accounted for a significant proportion of the casualties on D-Day at Omaha Beach. One soldier on his own is thought to have accounted for more than 10% of the total casualties on the day while manning just the one Machine Gun.
