Omaha Beach (True Combat‪)‬

It was easy for the German machine-gunners to concentrate their fire on the ramp of a landing craft as it hit the shore. Inside the landing craft, the assault troops would hear the bullets bouncing like flung pebbles off the metal ramp, knowing that the moment they hit the beach that protection would be snatched away from them. As it dropped, it exposed thirty men huddled together – the perfect target.
