| Synopsis: |
Omaha beach attracts over one and a half million visitors each year, making it the most visited Second World War battlefield site in Europe. This narrow strip of Normandy coastline was crucial to the successful outcome of Overlord - the largest amphibious operation in history - and to the Second World War itself. Here in words and pictures is the story of the high price in human life of that success which gives the area its grim title: 'Bloody Omaha'. |
