OMAHA BEACH

Hi I am Anavi and I'm going to talka little bit about the Omaha Beach.

I visited the Omaha Beach when i was in an exchange with the school in Normandy (France).

Although the place for the assault was not ideal for the risks. The site was easy to defend. There were fourteen soldiers, located at the entrance, which were also blocked the road by anti tank walls.

In March 1944, the beach was given the name Omaha, (a city in the state of Nebraska). Three months later, was given the name “Bloody Omaha” because of the terrible losses suffered.

At 6.30 am, the first waves were greeted by fire. The previous night’s aerial bombardments,

The German defences had remained practically untouched and to make matters worse, almost all the tanks sank before reaching the beach,

As the tide rose, the beach the beach is filled with bodies that the waves carried them to the shore,countless wounded because it was a very dangerous war, where a lot of people died

The Omaha bridge was scarcely two kilometres deep. The operation which had begun so badly had ultimately been a success, although a very heavy price had been paid. The losses totalled more than 3,000 men.
