The Beast of Omaha, was a simple German soldier, with anti Nazi sentiment, disgraced and sent to a penal battalion. A bit of a rebel, his mouth got his ass in trouble. Unlike the Soviet penal battalions, where they were largely used up, the Heer wished to rehabilitate and inspire those in the penal battalions. Once restored, the soldier returned to the ranks, got his epaulet plates back and received the honor of serving as a regular soldat again.The Beast of Omaha was a soldier who, in the penal unit, simply learned to keep his opinions to himself, to listen to instructions, to play the f’ing game when they wanted him to play the F’ing game. He paid attention to the training. He, and initially other soldiers and his NCO’s were in an incredible position to rack a good part of the beach where American soldiers were crossing with the fast firing, hard hitting MG42. He was a competent skilled gunner, in an excellent position with great cover and he, along with others, savagely fired bursts and sustained their fire through quick reloading and effective barrel changes until withdrawn.
