American forces land on Omaha, the most deadly of the D-Day beaches. So many are killed in the first few hours that a US general almost calls off the attack. It’s the closest D-Day ever comes to failure. But amidst the turmoil, as the tide literally turns, can the Allied soldiers just break through?…

A special thanks to the American Veterans Center for their partnership in highlighting the real stories from Omaha Beach. Visit their YouTube channel for more interviews and stories.

A Noiser production, written by Jeff Dawson.
