They bombed and shelled the shore and the local inland for days before launching the amphibious assault. The Germans were well fortified because they had known for years that the Americans would invade at Normandy and had been preparing for it.

I know you're probably trolling, but D-Day is actually a very fascinating subject. If you're legitimately interested, check out Stephen Ambrose's 1,000+ page account of the lead up and planning, execution, and aftermath of June 6.

Most of the bombing and shelling on American beaches missed the targets. Plus the landingcraft skippers got cold feet and unloaded too far from the beach.
