The barricades on Omaha Beach during the D-Day invasion of World War II were known as "Hedgehogs" or "Czech hedgehogs." These were spiked metal obstacles designed to impede the advance of Allied troops and vehicles, making it difficult for them to land and secure the beach. Additionally, there were other types of fortifications, such as barbed wire and anti-tank obstacles, which further enhanced the German defenses.
