(1/6) Timewatch Omaha Beach World War II

Subscribe to Excellent World War II Videos

At six miles wide, Omaha was the largest of the landing areas, with the toughest defense. The water and beach were littered with mines and the entire beach being overlooked by 30-metre cliffs. The experienced 352nd German Infantry Division had the beach covered.
The 1st Infantry assault experienced the worst ordeal of the D-Day operation. All but two out of 29 amphibious tanks sank and almost all the senior officers were killed or wounded as they set foot on the beach. Despite a 50% casualty rate, the survivors regrouped and pressed on.
Aided by heavy naval bombardment, the infantry crossed the beach and began scaling the cliffs. Paratroops closed in on the German defense from behind, enabling the beach exits to be secured by midday.
The Americans suffered 2,400 casualties at Omaha on June 6th, but 34,000 Allied troops had landed by nightfall.

I have not seen this whole playlist yet but I want just to say that the "Timewatch" series is just, so far, the best videos of your channel. Thanks for sharing.

[2bn442RCT]

Yes BBC shows on the whole are superior to American; CRASH BANG Against 10/1 ODDs AMERICA is BETTER than everyone else, the History Channel nonsense, that is on American TV. And I'm an American.lol OMG I'm ranting I might have to delete my own post.

Richard Hammond! yeah! always wanted to see this.

I wonder if he's as good as Clarkson and May at making non car related stuff.

thx a lot!

[2bn442RCT]

Sorry I live in America and had to read up on these two fellows. Clarkson narrates an excellent special on the raid on St. Nazaire, which I will upload soon.

Those MEN were most certainly HERO's following orders. WOW. WOW. Knowing they are going to be KILLED and the men behind them and the men behind them and the men behind them totaling 2400. SHIT that's FUCKED.

First of all I would of laid down for some sort of protection or attempt to avoid being KILLED. Carried a couple dead comrades on my shoulders for some protection, FUCK THAT. I salute those men who worthlessly lost their lives my Heart Pours out to their Souls Soo BRAVE and a waste

@ryko26

IT's SAD Horrific so much blood, troops dismembered, for what?

Let me ask you this, if you were there on your own ? Would you approach this situation as IKE did? Would you deliberately stand in front of a rifle knowing your demise

Would you walk out from your front door knowing there are 1000 enemy armed troops waiting?

I would of course think of an appropriate alternative

For those doors to open on those front and center troops IS INSANE

OBVIOUSLY it was GREED for IKE etc. A HERO??

@ryko26

Cliffs 100% advantage only counter was by Air what should of occured RATHER than Sacrifice 1TROOP in a Kamikaze Suicide MIssion, worst deliberate massacre Just like the Bright RED COATS suicidal targets, There is no reason for those deaths. When the JETS came HITLER knew US Position.Why didn't they attack by AIR the rear or flank IKE was STUPID for FAME.

FORD made all HITLERS TRUCKS

Rockefeller gave HITLER ALL OIL for WW2

GE made armament for HITLER

GM made Hitlers Tanks

The tears won't stop, such a tragedy,so many lifes ended in there youth. "Time to die when I'm Twenty?" My God.

[ryko26]

2:35 "...the amazing thing is that 63 years later historians and military experts are still trying to figure out why so many more men died here on this beach than on any of the others."

er... not an auspicious start. No they're not. They died because there were crack German troops in large numbers at Omaha, unlike the other beaches. To pretend this isn't common knowledge (for the sake of an uber-dumb audience) is pathetic.

[Ahornblatt2000]

Most important battle?My ass! The most important battle had already been been fought out in the East
