This photograph shows troops from the First
Infantry Division
wading ashore under heavy fire at the Normandy beach,
code-named OMAHA. Here the first landings resembled Churchill's worst
nightmares,
as unexpectedly fierce German resistance resulted in the deaths of
many American soldiers.
The troops finally accomplished their mission, however,
and casualties elsewhere on D-Day were not as high as had been feared.
