Answer:
Omaha Beach is the code name given by the allies to one of the five beaches on which the Normandy landings took place, on 6 June 1944. The beach, 8 kilometers wide, runs from Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to Vierville -sur-Mer in the Calvados department of the Lower Normandy region of France.
The first troops to land on the beach were those belonging to the 29th Infantry Division of the United States, in the western sectors, and the now expert 1st Infantry Division, also American, in the eastern sectors. Both divisions were framed in the US Army Corps under the command of General Omar Bradley, aboard the cruiser Augusta.
On this beach the Allies register the greatest number of losses, since it was the zone with greater German fortifications, composed of mines, bunkers and great amount of men.
