“The Tough Beach” by Dwight Shepler #147, 1944: watercolor. Omaha Beach was studded with obstacles, mines, pillboxes and fortifications. All day the landing waves suffered terrible attrition from enfilading German fire. LCI-93 called for help in bringing back the wounded; in response, a volunteer crew from Emmons went ashore in the ship’s whaleboat.
   The house in the valley is the same one that appears in the previous painting.
