Omaha Beach, Easy Red Sector: One sector on one beach, one momentous day: D-day, June 6th, 1944

By: Henkin, Yagil

There are WWII history books. There are Normandy guidebooks. This guidebook is both.
"Omaha Beach, Easy Red Sector" takes the reader through a specific, mile-long route on "Omaha Beach", where American soldiers battled the Nazis in the bloodiest battle of D-day. This book will provide a comprehensive understanding of the invasion by exploring the experiences of soldiers from both the German and American sides who fought on the same route. It will bring the historical events to life by sharing the stories that unfolded on the ground you are currently walking on. Through the stories of German soldiers like Franz Gockel and American soldiers like Joseph Dawson, as well as photographer Robert Capa and his famous (if slightly exaggerated) story of the invasion, this book will help understand its scale, importance, and the successes and failures as well.

2nd edition, with color maps and higher quality photographs.
