It was only a few minutes past 0630 6 JUN 1944 that General Omar Bradley, Commanding General of the US First Army, received the first report from Omaha beach. The brief message read: “Casualties very high..”. The Americans were in real danger of being “thrown back into the sea”, as Field Marshal Rommel had promised Adolf Hitler. It was all up to the 1st Infantry Division, the “Big Red One”, to hang on and move forward. Under some of the most intense small arms and automatic machinegun fire in the history of warfare, the First made slow but steady progress. The “Big Red One” will be forever linked to the words “Bloody Omaha”.
This 1:6 scale collectible figure is part of the Elite Force Series from Blue Box Toys. It is approximately 12 inches tall, and comes complete with detailed uniform and accessories, including weapons and gear.
