description: At dawn on D-Day the US Army's 1st and 29th infantry divisions launched their attack on Omaha Beach. The assaulting infantry were compelled to wade through shoulder-high water, under murderous fire, many being killed as they struggled ashore. Despite appalling difficulties, a bridgehead had been established by the evening of June 6.
