Just for reference: the plain number of casualties at Omaha beach was comparatively small. Fighter-bombers caused higher numbers of casualties among motorised columns of German divisions in Normandy in a single day than the initial invasion or even the encirclement at Falaise.

If I remember correctly, the approach to the bridge of Oissel alone -- one of two bridges across the Seine in that area -- saw more deaths within a few hours at the end of August than Omaha Beach. All without any Allied ground forces present, just P47s, Typhoons and bombers. Same for the roads leading to Rouen and Elbeuf.

Awesome sequence, can't upvote for the guy selling the dvd's off his own site. Might need the commercial tag though.

Made to feel very old by '90s tag.

Except it's not really the opening scene. First we get the sepia tone flag, then old guy at the cemetery with the the big boobed girls.
