On June 6, 1944, the Allies embarked on the monumental Operation Neptune, the largest amphibious landing operation in history. Despite the element of surprise, the allied troops faced significant casualties across all five sectors. However, one sector, Omaha beach, proved to be especially devastating for US soldiers as they encountered immense challenges in achieving their objectives.
