The 352nd Infantry Division at Omaha Beach

(June 1944) Much has been written about Omaha Beach and the days leading up to June 6, 1944, ( D-Day ), but largely from the Allied perspective. Very little had been known of the German side of history, particularly the German 352nd Infantry Division (352ID), responsible for the defense of the Omaha Beach sector. Shortly after the end of WWII , while a prisoner of war in the United States, Lt Col. Fritz Ziegalmann (Chief of Staff of the 352ID) wrote a history of the 352nd Infantry Division in Normandy, for the United States War Department's Foreign Military Studies. Most scholars draw upon the US Army's 1948 translation of Ziegalmann's work. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/ww2/germandef.html
