The Battle of Omaha Beach was not one battle, but six separate battles fought independent from one another. Each one was a small unit action and each one had a cast of characters that contributed meaningfully to a very dramatic story. The guns used on both sides in these battles were varied, and in some cases, surprising. From Pointe Du Hoc to the Dog Green Sector - from the shingle to the top of the bluff, the guns of Omaha are an important part of the human stories of courage, devotion to duty and sacrifice that made D-Day an unforgettable moment in American history.
