D-Day Normandy
“Omaha Beach, June 6, 1944, 0700 hours. Higgins boats grind ashore through obstacles bristling with mines. Foreground shows GIs wading through chest-deep surf under withering MG-42 fire from the bluffs; midground reveals burning landing craft and engineers blasting hedgehogs; the gray Channel stretches behind crowded with hundreds of ships from horizon to horizon.”
