    Omaha Beach is very well known.It had the highest death toll, and let me tell you, if theres a WWII game out there that tells about D-day,thenit has too have Omaha.

    That is a crying shame!

    I hope that you will continue to explore places like this forum and gain a broader education about the subject. I hope they have a broader perpective about the rest of their teaching, isolationism can be a terrible thing.

    Utah got my vote, just as interesting as the other beaches but Omaha is probably the best known

    Well Operation Deadstick and the rest of 6th Airbornes 'jobs' that night/day!

    After that Sword, Gold and Juno.

    Know about Omaha and Utah but never really sparked my interest.

    Actually, I know more detail about the electronic war and equipment used to support D-day than most other areas.....of course, that is a bit too esoteric for most people.

    Utah, because of the strange circumstances involving the landing and how it worked out for the better.
