ORIGINAL FOOTAGE | Omaha Beach Assault Wave | WN60 and the German Defenders | Normandy WW2

In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, the men of L Company, 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, stepped inside their LCAs (Landing Craft Assault). They had been training for the invasion from the moment they arrived in the UK after fighting their way through North Africa and Sicily. They trained for the landings so often that the majority of men felt confident in their ability to face the enemy and win.

Unfortunately, their H Hr would be delayed and then enemy were not destroyed by the preliminary bombardment. The men of L Company would run ashore into the German fire.

In this video I look at the original footage taken on D Day and I take you to the location where it was filmed. I then take you to the German position overlooking this stretch of beach and see where the German were located.
