Of the six beaches (2 US, 3 UK and 1 Canadian) Omaha was, I believe, by far the most heaving defended.

- C1sc0cat 7y agoOnly the one Beach actually had very strong defences the other 5 beaches did not have many initial casualties.
- elcapitan 7y agoIIRC the main difference was that the Allies failed to take out (with bombings and artillery fire) defenses on Omaha beach as they did on the other beaches.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoI've read somewhere that some Allied pilots feared hitting the beaches and so released their bombs late; I don't know how true this is though.
