Historical Background:
06th June 1944, Omaha Beach.
06h30, the landing crafts of the first assault wave arrived in front of Exit E3 defended by German strongpoints Wn60, Wn61 and Wn62. US soldiers of 16th RCT (Regimental Combat Team) - 1st Infantry Division, were pinned down on the beach by a deadly machine-guns fire coming from these strongpoints. 07h00, the second assault wave joined the surviving on the beach at Easy Red and Fox Green sectors. 07h10, the 88mm antitank gun of Wn61 was destroyed. 09h00, Wn60 was captured by remnants of L Company, 16th RCT, and in the same time a breakthrough was made by G Company, west of Wn62. This German strongpoint resisted until 15h00 before to be evacuated by the last defenders. At the end of this "bloody" day, a flimsy bridgehead was set up in Omaha Beach.
