Here is a map showing defensive positions and landing zones at Omaha you can reference while listening. http://www.historyofwar.org/Maps/maps_omaha_landings.html

Very frustrating to hear the speaker saying "this position" or whatever, in a picture he is evidently pointing at. when there's no visual available. But very interesting after so many years to hear new aspects of the situation. The resulting near-disaster of Omaha makes so much more sense.

The terrain was a big factor. and it was more heavily defended.

I have this book. The Allied intelligence failure for Omaha is absolutely frightening. Rommel knew and was right.
