The Battle For Omaha Beach 0:03
On the morning of June 6, 1944, thousands of US infantry began
landing on a beach code-named Omaha, in Normandy, France.
In order to push the Germans back, the Americans had to make
it across the beach and up the cliffs, all while under heavy
machine gun fire. The first waves of soldiers that landed on the
beach sustained heavy casualties as the Germans remained
relatively unscathed inside their concrete bunkers.
But as the battle wore on, the German's ammunition began to run
low and the Americans were crossing the beach, and making it up
to the German positions on the cliffs. by the end of the day, the
Americans had lost over 2000 men, but they now had a foothold
in France and would push the Germans back for the remainder
of WW2.

The Battle of El Alamein 3:40
The First Battle of El Alamein was a part of the WWII North African Campaign and
took place in northwestern Egypt on July 1st, 1942. It began with the British being
attacked by Axis forces led by Erwin Rommel, whose objective was to capture the
Suez Canal, the Middle Eastern oil fields, and other strategic locations. however,
the British defense was quite formidable and the Axis forces were not able to defeat
them in any significant way. after days of vicious fighting, Rommel, undersupplied
and outnumbered, decided to call off his attacks and assume a defensive position.
Around 2 months later, in the 2nd Battle of El Alamein, The British would now
launch an attack on the Axis front and eventually force Rommel to retreat, turning
the tide of the North African campaign in the allies' favor.

The Battle of The Bulge 7:41
On December 16, 1944, the Germans launched their last major offensive of WW2, intending to split the Allies' lines in two.
As the Germans advanced through the Ardennes Forest the Americans were caught completely by surprise and were pushed back, creating a bulge in their frontline which gave the battle its name.
The German's initial success did not last, however, and their advance was stopped ten days later as overwhelming numbers of Allied forces arrived.
In the following weeks, the Germans were driven back and lost all the ground they had previously taken.
The Battle of the Bulge lasted about six weeks with both sides taking around 90,000 casualties
each, but unlike the allies, the Germans had drained their resources and manpower and would
never recover.
