Can we get a serious answer? It was the invasion of normandy, france ~ 1944. But I dont really know much more:shrug:

About 6,900 vessels were to be involved in the invasion, under the command of Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay (who had been directly involved in the North African and Italian landings), including 4,100 landing craft. A total of 12,000 aircraft under Air Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory were to support the landings, including 1,000 transports to fly in the parachute troops; 10,000 tons of bombs would be dropped against the German defences, and 14,000 attack sorties would be flown.

Idk why they had the resources it seems.

Omaha Beach was the perfect defensive situation for the Germans. It was
a narrow enclosed battlefield leaving no possible way to flank it because the
cliffs surrounding the beach were virtually perpendicular to the ground.
It was an open killing field, there being no cover for the Allies until they
reached the sea wall. The Germans had thoroughly prepared for the attack
knowing that the Allies would probably eventually invade Europe (although
they didn't know when). Every inch of the beach was covered by guns, mines
and explosives. General Rommel (The German General in charge of defending
the beaches of Normandy against the D-Day invasion), had positioned twelve
strong points along the beach and throughout the seawall, each holding 88s
cannons, 75s cannons, and mortars for the Allies to deal with. The Germans
had also set up dozens of machine gun pillboxes, supported by a complicated
trench system which wove through the steep and complicated sea wall
passageways. There were also countless guns positioned at angles to have
plunging fire, grazing fire, and crossing fire from all types of weapons,
which made it even more difficult for the soldiers to make their way to the
base of the sea wall, and then up the wall. General Rommel protected the
larger weapons and strong points from Allied bombardment by building sturdy
concrete walls around them. An example of common German soldiers duties
during Omaha Beach can be seen in Franz Gockel's ( a German soldier in the
726th regiment) observation, "Dark shadows could be detected on the horizon,
and we first believed them to be German patrol craft, but soon the shadows
grew and became so numerous that all hope was dispelled. The detectable wake
from large and small ships increased in number. More bombers approached the
coastline, and at Port-en-Bessin, a few kilometers from us, the first bombs
fell. More bombers approached and I stood behind my heavy machine gun with
its sights trained on the sea. Once again I inspected the ammunition belt. I
attempted to concentrate on my weapon to take my mind away from the impending
events. In the recesses of my gun position stood ignition switches for two
flame-throwers which were aimed at the beach and the tank trench." The
overwhelming strength with which Omaha Beach was defended meant that the
Allies would need perfect execution in order to minimize loss of life
(Ambrose, 320-321).

I just watched that movie for the first time. What I don't understand is when the US soldiers landed on the beach, and they're getting wtfbbqpnw3d by the Nazies that they didn't just fire like 500 rockets at them with rocket launchers?

What's with trying to run up the damn beach with rifles?




first off, soldiers dont just carry around rocket launchers like in halo, especially in wwii.  second, the beach was bombed and shelled prior to the landing, i'm pretty sure.  third, the allies had no idea how well dug in the germans were.  fourth, it was pretty shitty weather that day which completely screwed up the landing schedule and organization and made for one hell of a shitstorm

It was a surprise invasion so the navy couldnt bombard the bunker emplacements.  Rockets at that time were highly unreliable, and most beach landings were way off course so it was pretty much a clusterfuck all up and down those Normandy beaches.

Yeah... Except unfortunately the Germans had MG42's which can pretty much still go toe to toe with any modern machine gun  :minigun:

The US still more or less uses the same browning 50 cal MG that they have since around the 1910's :shrug:

I watched the first scene but my friends watched all of it... They put the movie in because the trip was extremely long and intense... and watching a movie like that will sober you right up!

Because you can blow the fucking shit out of a place with every weapon known to man and the only thing left alive will be that fucking infantryman with his rife, hunkered down in a hole.
