Omaha, commonly known as Omaha Beach, was the code name for one of the five sectors of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944, during World War II.

Normandy

I had a better time than our boys did in '44.

Taking it easy in France

Took a trip from 7 sep - 13 sep to France. We landed in Paris, and took day trips out to Versailles, the Loire Valley and Mont Saint Michel in Normandy. Definitely used our feet, the taxis, TGV, the bus, and even rented a car to get around.

LA BATERÍA DE POINTE DU HOC (Normandía)

¡Activad los subtítulos, guripas!

Vamos a conocer los pormenores de la toma de la batería de costa alemana Stp 75, más conocida por el nombre del acantilado donde se construyó: LA POINTE DU HOC. La misión de los Rangers americanos era casi imposible, y hoy conoceremos cómo lograron llevarla a cabo y pasar así a formar parte de la épica del Día-D.

De esto y mucho más nos hablará FRANÇOIS MATHY apasionado del sector de Omaha Beach y fotógrafo aficionado.

Y no olvidéis suscribiros al canal de YouTube y seguirnos en las redes sociales.

¡ ROMPAN FILAS !

FE DE ERRORES: A través de la asociación D-Day Overlord ahora sabemos que el veterano americano George G. Klein, a quien mencionamos en el capítulo, ni escaló ni combatió en dicha batalla. No es el primer caso de auténticos veteranos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que, habiendo combatido en campañas y unidades menos conocidas, se atribuyen la participación en la batalla de Normandía y en unidades de élite, quizá en busca de reconocimiento.
Desde Tropa Guripa solo podemos reconocer nuestro error al no haber contrastado bien la información. Aunque siempre nos queda el consuelo de no haber sido los únicos, ya que Klein logró hacerse pasar por un Ranger durante años a ojos de todo el mundo.
