Browsing Gallery: Omaha Beach

Omaha Beach is perhaps the most sacred Normandy battle site. The beach here is no longer covered in small pebbles like it was on June 6, 1944. The beach now has a peaceful, sandy slope leading into a rise of dunes. At Omaha Beach the Allies constructed an artificial harbor out of a breakwater made of hollow, floating concrete barges manufactured in England and towed by boats to the invasion sites. There were two prefabricated ports, code named Mulberries. On June 19, 1944 a fierce storm completely destroyed American Mulberry near Omaha Beach.
