The Battle for Omaha Beach - Trailer

On the morning of June 6, 1944, thousands of US infantry began landing on a beach code-named Omaha, in Normandy, France. In order to push the Germans back, the Americans had to make it across the beach and up the cliffs, all while under heavy machine gun fire. The first waves of soldiers that landed on the beach sustained heavy casualties as the Germans remained relatively unscathed inside their concrete bunkers. But as the battle wore on, the German's ammunition began to run low and the Americans were crossing the beach, and making it up to the German positions on the cliffs. by the end of the day, the Americans had lost over 2000 men, but they now had a foothold in France and would push the Germans back for the remainder of WW2.
