Utah Beach

Utah Beach

The battle of Omaha occupies a prevalent place in our collective memory due to the events of June 6, 1944. The beach code-named Utah has attracted less attention. Wrongly. The scale of the losses alone demonstrates that the Battle of Utah deserves to be investigated in a new light.



The battle of Omaha occupies a prevalent place in our collective memory due to the tragic events that took place there on June 6, 1944. The beach code-named Utah, located at the base of the Cotentin Peninsula, has attracted less attention. Wrongly. According to General Eisenhower, the U-Force mission was the most complex and risky because of its distance from the beach and the presence of many German divisions. The 4th Infantry division and the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions had to fight hard to secure the Utah area. The scale of the losses alone - 3,500 men in total - demonstrates that the Battle of Utah deserves to be investigated in a new light.
