That June 6 Omaha Beach landing at the beginning of “Saving Private Ryan” was riveting film making.
There were many similar landings in the Pacific Theater. According to one book, D-Days in the Pacific, there were 126 of them. Okinawa had an ever larger amphibious force than at Normandy.
Not to diminish the War in Europe, but imagine that plus the heat, an even more fanatical enemy, the deadly critters that were all over the place, threats of disease from mosquitoes, that was the Pacific Theater.
