Omaha

Blackfive "The beach is still there, at the foot of the bluffs, seen here looking WNW towards Pointe-du-Hoc. Then, only patrols walked the beach and the area was thick with anti-landing obstacles. Along the bluffs were a network of fortifications: trenches, mortar pits, machine gun emplacements, and -- as seen above, the embrasures for larger guns. "
