Omaha beach was a “hell on earth” for the brave men landing there. The Germans were ready and waiting and most of the casualties were logged in this part of the assault. Many of the dead never made it past the front door of their landing craft, shot to death as they stepped into the water. Others, under heavy fire, were forced out of their landing crafts early only to find themselves drowning in waters too deep for them, their heavy packs and equipment quickly taking them down. Those lucky enough to make it to the beach were still in the fight of their lives and many would pay the final price in those sands. For others, wounds and death would come later. Days after they had survived this crushing assault they would fight on into the depths of France only to be killed by German fire. In many ways, they also died at Normandy with the others.

Aircraft from this Group went ahead of other Bombers and sent information back about the best routes to take and the extent to which targets were obscured by the weather. The Group won a DUC as part of the First Bomb Division for unescorted raid on aircraft factories at Oschersleben on 11 January 1944. After March 1944, the Group sent detachments to other stations to train different squadrons in pathfinding techniques. In March 1944, the 482d BG was taken off combat operations and became a development unit for various radar devices in addition to its training function, but continued to undertake special operations. With radar, photographed parts of France, the Low Countries, and Germany for training and briefing combat crews. While on experimental flights, often bombed bridges, fuel depots, power plants, and railroad stations. On 6 June, it provided 18 crews to lead bomb groups in support of the Allied invasion of Normandy, on pathfinder missions to bomb coastal defenses and attacks on traffic centers behind the beachhead.
