During the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, at Omaha Beach, approximately 27 tanks sank due to rough seas and navigational difficulties. Many of these tanks were part of the Allied forces' support for the assault, but their loss significantly hindered ground support during the initial stages of the invasion. Despite this setback, troops on the beach adapted and continued their fight against German defenses.
