Release Notes

Five years into World War II, the future of Europe hangs in the balance, as
34,000 US soldiers embark on a mission to launch the biggest attack ever from
sea. This fascinating documentary, interviews the soldiers who fought at Omaha,
recalling their experiences as they approached the shore line under intense
cross fire. Using CGI graphics to recreate and illustrate what happened on D
Day, the programme also explores the weaponry used in the first wave of the
invasion.Omaha Beach is the code name for one of the five sectors of the Allied
invasion of German-occupied France in the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944,
during World War II. The beach is located on the coast of Normandy, France,
facing the English Channel, and is 5 miles (8 km) long, from east of Sainte-
Honorine-des-Pertes to west of Vierville-sur-Mer on the right bank of the Douve
River estuary. Landings here were necessary in order to link up the British
landings to the east at Gold Beach with the American landing to the west at Utah
Beach, thus providing a continuous lodgement on the Normandy coast of the Bay of
the Seine. Taking Omaha was to be the responsibility of United States Army
troops, with sea transport and naval artillery support provided by the U.S. Navy
and elements of the British Royal Navy.
On D-Day, the untested 29th Infantry Division, joined by the veteran 1st
Infantry Division and nine companies of U.S. Army Rangers redirected from Pointe
du Hoc, were to assault the western half of the beach. The battle-hardened 1st
Infantry Division was given the eastern half. The initial assault waves,
consisting of tanks, infantry, and combat engineer forces, were carefully
planned to reduce the coastal defenses and allow the larger ships of the
follow-up waves to land.
