The Omaha Beach, a 7,000-yard stretch of Normandy, France, was the Allies' biggest obstacle on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Two American divisions, the 1st Infantry Division and the 29th Infantry Division, were tasked with taking the beach, establishing a beachhead, and moving inland. American Naval Combat Demolition Units also landed, writing their own stories of horror and heroism.
