The thing about D-Day is, the toughest fight by far was at Omaha beach, US sector, where it took the whole day to just secure the beach, suffering thousands of losses just here. Brits also had losses, but not concentrated on one single area. So, Omaha beach is where the action is the more packed when you make a movie - the choice is obvious.Originally Posted by Sir Moody
About S-France landing, I didn't know the first ones to land were native americans. Anyways, 200,000 of the 300,000 people landed here were french(with mainly US equipment), and 2/3 of those were in fact Africans. Who were rather unsettled after the war when their sacrifice was quickly forgotten - decolonization was ready to begin. Not the brightest part of France's history![]()
