Omaha was notoriously the bloodiest of the five Normandy beaches invaded by the allies on D-day. The author of this study, one of Sutton’s fine ‘Battle Zone’ serties, explains how Omaha became such a killing ground, after the supprting aerial bombers mainly missed their targets. The errors were compounded by poor visibility, leading to many invasion vehicles being swamped or sinking; and fierce machine gun fire which met the first men ashore. Such was the carnage that General Omar Bradley considered pulling out of Omaha altogether - before the men on the beaches finally won through and established a viable bechhead by nightfall. Written by distinguished military historian Dr Stephen Badsey, this account gives a clear and concise picture of D-day’s hardest-fought battle.
