Summary: Omaha Beach by George Bernage
Review: I want to say that this is definately a keeper if you are interested in the hisory of D day. My father was on Omaha Beach and I feel it tells his story. Also tells of German side too. I seen some new photo's I have not seen in any other book I have. I am esp. fond of the book because it has the 467th AAA bunker memorial in it, before and after scenes, and that was my fathers battalion.

Summary: Omaha Beach "relived"
Review: I've read very many writings of Omaha Beach from the official military records of September 1945 to present. After making several trips to the area and using my uncles maps as a reference, I find Mr Bernage's book one of the best! His interview of many veterans as well as local civillians will place you there on one of the most historic day's of the history of the world. I recomend this book very highly.

Summary: A vivid visual look at a famous battle
Review: Not long ago, I read and reviewed Joseph Balkoski's "Omaha Beach" and somewhat lamented the absence of really adequate maps to better show what had happened, linking the small unit actions with the bigger picture. I must say tha Georges Bernage's book is the perfect companion to Balkoski's, supplying highly vivid maps and photographs to amplify the words of Balkoski's narrative. And it certainly is not necessary to read Balkoski's book to find Bernage's much more visually-oriented work valuable in itself. A detailed picture of German tactical arrangements is presented along with equally detailed portrayals of individual American attacks bypassing and overcoming those defenses. And Bernage's text should not be ignored, as it contains some excellent first-hand account material.
