They walk so slow cause of the gear and how heavy it was

I’ve watched clip of those 4 soldiers walking out of the water a thousand times. I also wondered why they were walking while under fire. Also the the men in the foreground appears to be standing exposed watch the whole thing. If you notice a single burst of machine gun fire dropped both of the those soldiers. You can see the that burst impacting in the water to the right rear of the group of 4 soldiers.

Wet and heavy.

on that day we suffered about fifteen thousand casualties, 3000+ dead but we had to win because the rest of the world depended on us!

You mean the liberation of France depended on the allies ( British, Canadian, United States) winning?

As a percentage of the 1939 population America lost 0.32% of its population in WW2, Britain was in the war from the beginning in 1939 and lost 0.94% of its population. The point being if Britain had not held the line for those two years your cold war might have been rather hot considering that Germany was way ahead in rocketry and nuclear research and already dropping primitive SCUDS on London by the time America decided to join in.

mantenimiento it was a fucked up plan but it worked

you can see the inexperience in the men in DDay, lots of men just walk around instead of laying down which an experience soldier would do😕

This footage was not the first wave of soldiers on Omaha, this was several waves and hours later, when the beach became less contested. Not every beach on D Day was like Saving Private Ryan. Many of the other landings met very little to no resistance until the soldiers made their ways into the French villages. Stop discrediting these men as inexperienced, many of them had already served in the Africa campaign and in the far east.

If they would of layed down in the open on a beach, they would be killed. They were supposed to keep moving.

@@solidus6648 Apparently the Americans decided to send in green troops in the first wave(s) on the assumption that they had no previous experience of the carnage of an amphibious landing so would be less likely to hesitate when the doors went down.

You sir don’t know shit about what you’re talking about. Most of these men fought in North Africa and Sicily prior to Normandy. Don’t believe that Steven Spielberg Saving Private Ryan shit.
