Item #3 - Click to view individual item DHM6228C. US 4th Division, Utah Beach, D-Day, 6th June 1944 by Jason Askew. Utah beach was the great American success story of D-day. Compared to the difficulties encountered on Omaha beach, the casualties suffered by the American 4th Division on Utah beach were described as 'light'. Although tactical problems were encountered on the Utah beach landings, i.e. the loss of many of the landing control teams, the strong tide causing problems, German placed mines sinking vessels, and the overall atmosphere of fog / low visibility, the American infantry were able to subdue and overcome the German beach defences and penetrate inland, with much greater speed than the divisions that landed on Omaha. Terrain played a role with regard to the difference in combat experience between the two American beaches. The high bluffs at Omaha gave the German defenders a certain geographical advantage, whereas the low-lying sand dunes at Utah favored the mobility of the American infantry and armor. The low-lying terrain at Utah also favored the Allied air bombardment. Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr, the President's son, landed with the first wave at Utah beach. Roosevelt, together with the 8th Infantry regiment's commanding officer, James Van Fleet, directed the tactical battle on Utah beach, and coordinated the American advance inland. Signed limited edition of 1150 prints. Image size 12.5 inches x 7.5 inches (32cm x 19cm)
