The casualties at Omaha were a result of a combination of errors. The bombers which were supposed to blast the beach missed their targets and bombed too far inland. The naval bombardment was too brief to destroy the fortifications, many of the the amphibious tanks were launched too far out at sea so that many of them were swamped and some landing craft discharged their troops in water that was to far away and/or too deep. Many mistakes were made by planners, pilots and landing craft. There were mistakes all around and many of them were made due to inexperience, and some stupidity. None of it was done out of malice. The other beaches fared better because this combination of errors did not occur and the cliff obstacles were not as great. It turned out to be and old fashioned infantry assault similar to WW1 and our numbers and brave won the day.
