The landing craft were part of Operation Neptune under General Montgomery's direction. At the end of the day, Canadian and British forces to the east of Omaha and Fourth Division to the West moved inland forming a U-shaped envelope while 29th and 1st were held up on the beach. The large landing ships, seen towing barrage balloons, were part of Operation Overlord under General Eisenhower's direction and did not land until the beaches were cleared of obstacles.

One thing I will say about the Americans, and I am American is that they did not use camouflage to the same effect that the Germans did. If you look at the German tanks and soldiers they use the landscape bushes branches, anything they could get their hands on to disguise tanks, anti-tank guns, 88 Etc. And they used this camouflage to great a effect. I always wondered why we were always lagging behind in that particular area in the ETO. Not so much in the Pacific because the Marines got wise very quickly that camouflage was key because Japanese had been using it very effectively as well. Huge respect to our Soldiers Sailors Airmen and Marines of the ETO / Pacific! My dad fought in the Pacific during World War II. U.s. Navy South Pacific from the Philippines, Guam Saipan all the way up to Okinawa. Rest in Peace Dad!❤
