Eisenhower sent two divisions as the sacrificial lambs for the Omaha beach assault. The 1st Infantry Division, which is the all time premier US infantry unit to lead the way of which they were of average age of early 20s. He also sent the 28th infantry division, a green division consisting of 19 year old boys to spearhead the treacherous assault on the Dog Green sector. The 1st Infantry Division was sent because they were the leaders of the entire army and had to lead by example. The 28th Infantry on the other hand was chosen because they knew nothing about the horrors of combat. Therefore they were the most suitable for a brazen assault against ferocious weapons where all other units would cower under heavy fire, on open and treacherous beach terrain.

I clucking hate Germans for killing us on the beaches of Normandy, Americans, Canadians, French and the British, but now we are attacking the nation that won the war, they lost over 15 million soldiers more than all of the allies combined, Putin a moderate leader asking to join NATO was rebuffed, why? because NATO would be obsolete and the USA needs war and an enemy

The sad thing was that infantry units had immigrated from national guard units and these units recruited and trained ed groups of men using the buddy system. So that you had several men from the same town fighting and dying in the same infantry company.

@@tungstenkid2271 The DDs worked well in testing, however that testing was done on a lake. When it came time for the invasion they ended up being launched from too far offshore, so as to avoid exposing the ships that carried them to artillery fire. 1 DD did make it ashore at Omaha, and under a better sea state several went ashore at Utah. The reason tanks weren't landed directly on the beach was because the craft (actually called LCTs, for Landing Craft, Tank) was again because of exposure to fire. After the beach was secured, LSTs (Landing Ship, Tank) offloaded many tanks on the first day. Incidentally, LSTs were commonly called Large Slow Targets. To assist the infantry in the initial assault, about a quarter of the troops in the first waves were combat engineers.

"The Longest Day" is, about the 2. World War, one of the best films! We see it all the years in cinema and tv. We must well admire all the people involved in this film and for all the men and even ladies who so well prepared and fought in the D-Day (06.06.1944) in the Allied Army, Navy and Air-Force, like God soldiers, against nazism so cruel tyranny, for the freedom, in order the democracy, our best respect and all the blessings from God!

Props to Jean Servais (1910 - 1976) for how he played his scene as Contre-amiral Robert Jaujard. He clearly captured the balance of that sick feeling of having to give the order to fire on his homeland while also knowing that he had no other option.

Just what effect the bombardment achieve ? After the battle was over it would be quite obvious where shells landed. Did ships fire at land targets only 'by sight' from the ship it's self ? or did they have aerial/ground spotters ? Or with the poor visibility, just compass bearings etc. ( Were the midget submarines marking the landing zones of use as a reference ?)

At this point, Bradley seriously considered pulling out of dday and leaving the first three waves there. It was the Destroyer captains, legends that they were, who saved the day by nearly running aground and firing practically point blank into costal fortifications. This was THE pivotal moment of the battle.
