Omaha Beach
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Etymology: Likely coined in 1944 by American general Omar Bradley.
Senses: examples: text: Eventually, Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy in the early hours of 6 June 1944 - a day recorded in the history books as D-Day. Taken by surprise, the Germans were overwhelmed. But although the first phase of the operation passed off without major Allied losses, the Omaha Beach landings soon turned into a disaster. Despite leadership errors and fewer men, the German army displayed unexpected combative spirit. Logistics were also hampered by the poor weather conditions and the arrival of reinforcements was delayed. Despite their material and numerical superiority, the Allies suffered heavy losses and it took them more than two months to break through the German defense.
