Here is an outstanding photographic record of the heroic taking of the beach at Omaha. Omaha was the more difficult of the two beaches for the US forces and the fighting was ferocious. The tactics, terrain, uniforms and equipment of the American soldiers and their German opponents are covered here in great detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A vivid visual look at a famous battle,
By Bruce Trinque (Amston, CT United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Omaha Beach: 6/6/1944 (Hardcover)
Not long ago, I read and reviewed Joseph Balkoski's "Omaha Beach" and somewhat lamented the absence of really adequate maps to better show what had happened, linking the small unit actions with the bigger picture. I must say tha Georges Bernage's book is the perfect companion to Balkoski's, supplying highly vivid maps and photographs to amplify the words of Balkoski's narrative. And it certainly is not necessary to read Balkoski's book to find Bernage's much more visually-oriented work valuable in itself. A detailed picture of German tactical arrangements is presented along with equally detailed portrayals of individual American attacks bypassing and overcoming those defenses. And Bernage's text should not be ignored, as it contains some excellent first-hand account material.

Omaha Beach "relived",
By Tim Roop (Ocean City, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Omaha Beach: 6/6/1944 (Hardcover)
I've read very many writings of Omaha Beach from the official military records of September 1945 to present. After making several trips to the area and using my uncles maps as a reference, I find Mr Bernage's book one of the best! His interview of many veterans as well as local civillians will place you there on one of the most historic day's of the history of the world. I recomend this book very highly.Tim Roop
