Under Rommel's orders the Germans had substantially increased the defences. All the beaches, particularly Omaha, had strong concrete gun emplacements with 88's and many older naval guns. Machine gun pillboxes were all over the beaches as well. Some beaches had mines and many had large steel crosses to stop ships landing.
