I just got back from a visit to Normandy. Omaha and Utah were the most treacherous. Omaha is a wide flat beach below a hill. It was obvious that the Germans were able to pick our boys off like they were in a shooting gallery. I wonder if there may have been a better way to invade instead of storming the beaches on foot?
Knocks the wind out of you, doesn’t it? Did you get to see the American cemetary?
Well, we saw how successful the airborne portion of D-Day went...unlikely it would have been any better if there had been more airborne and lesst beach landings
