He inflicted 1000-1500 casualties while American soldiers were landing on Omaha Beach as part of Operation Overlord.</p> <p>The site of Severloh’s last active mission was part of a medium-sized emplacement known as “<em>Widerstandsnest 62</em>” (Resistance nest 62).<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Severloh#cite_note-3" target="_blank"><span> </span></a></sup>According to Severloh, there were only two or three active emplacements with machine guns in his section of the beach at the time of the landing. He and the 19-year-old Franz Gockel positioned next to him were armed with machine guns. Severloh claimedthat there were just 30 soldiers defending the beach. However, in WN62 alone, there were 19 men.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Severloh#cite_note-4" target="_blank"><span> </span><span> </span></a></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Severloh#cite_note-5" target="_blank"><span> </span></a></sup> Such large numbers suggest that Severloh&#8217;s estimate of thirty men defending the beach is unreliable.</p> <p>Severloh’s lines of fire almost entirely covered the sections of beach known as Easy Red and Fox Green.</p> <p>Severloh manned an MG-42 and <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-9"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Severloh#cite_note-9" target="_blank"><span> </span></a></sup>he fired on the waves of approaching American soldiers with the machine gun and two Karabiner 98k rifles, while comrades kept up a continuous flow of ammunition to him from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.. Severloh had fired approximately 12,000 rounds with the machine gun and 400 rounds with the two rifles.</p> <p>Severloh was slightly injured in the face at Omaha Beach.</p> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"><a class="image" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Severloh_Stellung.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="thumbimage" height="165" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Severloh_Stellung.jpg/220px-Severloh_Stellung.jpg" width="220"/></a> <div class="thumbcaption">View out of Severloh&#8217;s fox hole over Omaha Beach.</div> <div class="thumbcaption"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Severloh" target="_blank">Via.</a></div> </div> </div> <h2><span class="editsection"> </span> <span class="mw-headline" id="Beast_of_Omaha_Beach"></span></h2>http://stukaparty.tumblr.com/post/13218095807http://stukaparty.tumblr.com/post/13218095807Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:53:00 +0100Historyww2wwIIWarWorld war IIWorld war 2D-DayOperationOverlordHeinrichSeverloh<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujx17SIWm1r1vz7co1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujx17SIWm1r1vz7co2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujx17SIWm1r1vz7co3_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujx17SIWm1r1vz7co4_500.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://stukaparty.tumblr.com/post/12687358518http://stukaparty.tumblr.com/post/12687358518Sat, 12 Nov 2011 15:17:30 +0100Gifwarworld war IIwwIIworld war 2ww2history<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltss59soFV1r1vz7co1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://stukaparty.tumblr.com/post/12047939010http://stukaparty.tumblr.com/post/12047939010Sat, 29 Oct 2011 00:36:45 +0200Gifwarworld war IIwwIIworld war 2ww2history<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltsrmdcOpT1r1vz7co1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltsrmdcOpT1r1vz7co2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://stukaparty.tumblr.com/post/12047497049http://stukaparty.tumblr.com/post/12047497049Sat, 29 Oct 2011 00:25:24 +0200Gifwarworld war IIwwIIworld war 2ww2history
