D-Day: The Beast of Omaha & WN 62 | History Traveler Episode 47

Omaha Beach isn't known as being the bloodiest beach of the D-Day landing for nothing. And in recent years, a German machine gunner by the name of Heinrich Severloh has been credited with inflicting 1000-2000 casualties alone from WN62 of the Easy Red sector earning him the nickname "The Beast of Omaha." In this episode, we explore WN62 and dissect Severloh's claims. Tons to see and learn in this one!
