Photograph of Assault Troops Landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944

Framed by the silhouettes of two men aboard a following landing craft, LCVP’s unload U.S. assault troops into the waters off Omaha Beach, early in the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. Smoke and haze from the battle drift low over the beach, and the wide expanse that must be crossed to reach the bluffs is visible beyond the wading troops. The photograph is a bit grainy, but one of the few that recorded the early phase of the landings on Omaha. The detail of the wading troops and pole/barbed wire landing obstacles is easier to view in larger print sizes.
