From this week's digest — This Week's Pick

🎯 This Week's Pick

Why Allied Bombers Missed Omaha Beach on D-Day

World War 2 LIVE · 54:54 · Oct 30

World War II Air Warfare Tactics & Battles

Kevin Hymel and Joe Balkoski — the definitive historian of Omaha Beach — pick apart one of D-Day's most consequential failures: why 450 B-24s dropped their loads too far inland while Utah Beach was hammered effectively. The episode gets into the specific tactical decisions — weather delays, pathfinder errors, the three-second bomb-release offset ordered to avoid hitting the landing craft — and contrasts the Eighth Air Force's approach with the IX's work at Utah. Balkoski brings decades of research on the 29th Division's sector and it shows; this is the kind of second-by-second operational reconstruction that separates real scholarship from another D-Day overview.
