LVT's
Totally agree with CalBear on LVT's at Omaha would have reduced casualties on the beach, would have to look at beach exits/slope for use inland. Would the height of an LVT (any variant) help in the hedgerows in spite of the minimal armor protection. (Ronsons?)
Regarding the original comment, what about Project DANNY a USMC air group with F4U's with Tiny Tim 5" rockets originally intended to take out V1 sites in N France VS the bunkers at Omaha? How about CAS at Pointe Du Hoc? This plan supposedly quashed by Gen Marshall as well as reinforcing the original Ranger landing at P D Hoc there with MARDET's from BB's TEXAS and ARKANSAS
