Omaha Beach, Widerstandsnest 60, Fox Red sector , Normandy
Omaha Beach
Omaha was divided into ten sectors, codenamed (from west to east): Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog Green, Dog White, Dog Red, Easy Green, Easy Red, Fox Green and Fox Red. On june 6, 1944 -D-Day - the initial assault on Omaha was to be made by two Regimental Combat Teams (RCT), supported by two tank battalions, with two battalions of Rangers also attached. The RCT's were part of the veteran 1st Infantry division ("The Big Red One") and the untested 29th ("Blue and Grey") , a National Guard unit.
The plan was to make frontal assaults at the "draws" (valleys) in the bluffs which dominate the coast in Normandy , codenamed west to east they were called D-1, D-3, E-1, E-3 and F-1 . These draws could then be used to move inland with reserves and vehicles.
The Germans were not stupid; they knew the draws were vital and concentrated their limited resources in defending them. To this end they built "Widerstandsneste" with AT guns, mortars, MG's in Tobrul's, trenches and bunkers, manned by soldiers of the German 716th and - more recently - 352nd Infantry Division, a large portion of whom were teenagers, though they were supplemented by veterans who had fought on the Eastern Front. All in all some 1100 German soldiers defended the entire Omaha beach sector of over 5 miles.
Preliminary bombardments were almost totally ineffective and when the initial waves landed at low tide they met with fiece opposition of an enemy well dug in and prepared.
Casualties were heaviest amongst the troops landing at either end of Omaha. At Fox Green and Easy Red, scattered elements of three companies were reduced to half strength by the time they gained the relative safety of the shingle, many of them having crawled the 300 yards (270 m) of beach just ahead of the incoming tide. Casualties were especially heavy amongst the first waves of soldiers and the gap assault teams - at Omaha these were tasked with blasting channels through the beach obstacles. German gunfire from the bluffs above the beach took a heavy toll on these men. The demolition teams managed to blast only six complete gaps and three partial ones; more than half their engineers were killed in the process.
Situation at Dog Green and on Easy Red on the other end of Omaha by mid morning was so bad with nearly all the troops essentially pinned down on the beach gen. Eisenhower seriously considered to abandon the operation; in "First Wave at OMAHA Beach", S.L.A. Marshall, chief U.S. Army combat historian, called it "an epic human tragedy which in the early hours bordered on total disaster."
As the US first waves assault forces and combat engineers landing directly opposite the "draws" were pinned down it was up to forces landing on the flanks of the strongpoints to penetrate the weaker German defences by climbing the bluffs. Doing this they had to overcome the minefields and barbed wire as well as machinegun fire from German positions but they did and they were able to attack some key strongpoints from the side and the rear, taking them out by early afternoon.
This happened on several spots at Omaha and essentially saved the day: individual acts of initiative by lower ranked officers and courage like that of First Lieutenant Jimmy Monteith, who led a group of men to take one of the key German widerstandsneste and was killed in action, succeeded where a flawed plan failed.
The Defenses
"Widerstandsnest" 60 or WN60 is the easternmost of the 14 Widerstandsneste that guarded Omaha Beach in june 1944. It It guarded the small "Fox-1" exit and has a perfect view over Omaha beach. It was at this spot that the real Major Werner Pluskat first saw the invasion fleet approach, a scene made famous in the 1962 movie "The Longest Day" (though shot on a location several miles to the east , the Longueville Battery).
WN60 was manned by some forty soldiers of the German 716th Static Inf.Division. For armament it had a 7.5 cm Gun, several Mortar positions and some MG's as well as a 2cm Flak 38 gun.
For a map of the eastern part of Omaha click here. The German WN's are marked as well as the Draws and beach sections.
D-Day
This area was designated to the 1st US infantry division (The Big Red One) and elements of the 3/16th RCT landed here from 06.30 (writer Ernest Hemingway was among them - check his book "Voyage to Victory"). Despite the heavy casualties inflicted on them by WN60 and WN61 around 08.00 US soldiers started to climb the bluffs. Among them was 1st Lt. Jimmy W. Monteith who directed the fire of destroyers and two Sherman tanks. He was to be awarded with the Medal of Honor for his role in the taking of WN60, posthumously. The men of L/116th managed to reach te top of the bluff some time before nine 'o clock and attack the WN60 from the rear. Throwing grenades and satchel charges they blasted the Germans out and were able to report the taking of WN60 around 09.00. This was the first of the German strongpoint to be taken and it opened up the small Fox-1 exit through the bluffs though it was not before evening that the first tanks were able to use it.

The photo shows the view from one of the "Tobruk" Mortar positions of WN60.
Even nowadays WN60 is well hidden near a wheatfield and can be reached only by using some unpaved small farmer's roads. The rocky road down to the beach using Fox-1 damn well near cost me the front axle of my car.

This painting was started for my own amusement just before the owners announced the end for FPSO Petrojarl Foinaven. I've done several portraits of this subject in the last ten years. Occasionally, I've asked if I could do a sort of before & after portrait, not as popular an idea as you'd think, I always got a "No thanks." Anyway, the "ghost" in the background is the soviet era submarine tender Anadyr which was converted into the Foinaven in a Spanish shipyard. Putting it crudely, Anadyr was cut in half so a smallish oil refinery could be inserted into a lengthened hull, a helideck was added over a raised forecastle and a rotating turret manifold (the bit like an oil rig tower as we laymen might say, the risers from the oil wells connect to the vessel here) about which the rest of the ship could rotate as weather required. And that's how to make a Foinaven.

Seen The Hotel Sacher from Albertina square (another pictures you can see by clicking at the end of page!)
The Hotel Sacher is located in the 1st district of Vienna Inner City behind the Vienna State Opera. Famous specialty of the house is the original Sacher Cake. The hotel is a member of Leading Hotels of the World.
Story
Anna Maria Sacher
On the grounds of the demolished Carinthian Gate Theatre, directly opposite the newly opened Imperial and Royal Court Opera, was built a Maison Meublé. The restaurateur Eduard Sacher acquired the on a Renaissance palace modeled house and opened 1876 the Hotel de l'Opera with restaurant. The son of Franz Sacher, the inventor of the Sacher Cake, however, had already made a name for himself as a restaurateur and renamed the house quickly into Hotel Sacher.
He married in 1880 the 21-year-old Anna Fuchs who henceforth cooperated in the hotel and quickly took over the business, because her husband's health deteriorated. 1892 died Eduard, and Anna Sacher ran now the hotel as a so-called widow operation. The at that time extremely emancipated woman who always could be seen with cigar and her beloved French Bulldogs (in Vienna: "Sacher-Bullys"), ran the operation with strictness, but also with kindness. So she kept already then a company health insurance fund for her employees.
From the outset, the Sacher was one of the best addresses in the city and was in 1871 for the wine and delicatessen trade appointed kuk Purveyor. This privilege was granted after the death of Eduard Sacher his widow Anna once again. Before the visit of the opera one enjoyed the exquisite cuisine, people met in the legendary booths, and even high-ranking representatives from politics used the always discreet house for meetings. The exclusive hotel was already a social institution. But the economically difficult years after the First World War left its mark on the house too.
Shortly before her death in 1930, Anna Sacher withdrew from the leadership. Only after her death came to be known that the hotel was heavily in debt and from the former assets not much was left. 1934, eventually it came to bankruptcy.
The attorney Hans Gürtler, his wife Poldi and the hotelier couple Josef and Anna Siller acquired the now run-down house and renovated it extensively: Everything had been adapted to modern needs, from the heating system as well as the electrics and running hot and cold water in all rooms. From now on the earned money always should flow back into the house. For the first time, the Sacher Cake not only in its own premises was offered for human consumption but also sold on the street.
The house increasingly became again the meeting place for the society. But the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938 brought this to an abrupt end. Now Swastika flags waved in front of the hotel. During the Second World War but the house remained largely spared from damage. Immediately after the liberation of Vienna it was occupied by Soviet troops, the first district of Vienna around the hotel but was soon administered by the Allies together and got so for six years in British hands.
1951 the families Siller and Gürtler got back their possessions. Josef Siller had yet died in 1949. Again the hotel had to be renovated extensively. So also new gastronomic localities emerged in Sacher. Hans Gürtler also laid the foundation for the art collection of the 19th century. Died in 1962 Anna Siller and the hotel went entirely into the possession of the Gürtler family. In 1967 the company obtained the National Award and since then the company is allowed to use the federal coat of arms in business transactions. The son of Hans Gürtler, Rolf, in 1970 took over operations but he died shortly thereafter in an accident after which he was succeeded by his son Peter Gürtler. This one also took over in 1989 the Hotel Österreichischer Hof in Salzburg. This one was later renamed into Hotel Sacher Salzburg. Since his death in 1990 his 1983 divorced from him wife Elisabeth Gürtler runs with her daughter Alexandra the family enterprise.
2006 was the building which in its building structure altogether consists of six townhouses under the direction of the architectural firm Frank & Partners thermally completely renovated and the roof extension in which a spa was housed provided with a striking bright aluminum roof.

The Hotel Sacher at night
As a member of the hotel industry association The Leading Hotels of the World, which ensures quality control in the five-star hotel industry sector, the Hotel Sacher is one of the best addresses in Austria. Since the expansion of 2006, it also meets the criteria of a Leading Spa.
In the house there is the restaurant Anna Sacher, the Red Bar, the Blue Bar, the Confiserie, Cafe Sacher and the Sacher Corner. The café was in 2004 awarded the Golden Coffee Bean by Jacobs.
Also in the building, but not as a part of the hotel, is the former kuk Court purveyor and Chamber supplier Wilhelm Jungmann & Neffe.
Since 1999, the Original Sacher-Torte is produced in its own production site in Vienna Simmering (11th district), from where it is exported to the whole world. After a decades-long dispute with the imperial confectioner Demel, only the dessert made by Sacher may decorate itself with the title "Original". The Sachertorte is imitated by many coffee houses, bakeries and confectioneries.
Known guests
Main entrance of the hotel in the evening
The house in Philarmoniker street welcomed numerous prominent guests. Anna Sacher had a photo gallery of her guests in her boudoir. The signatures she embroidered herself all on a tablecloth. Right in the middle of all them, the one of Emperor Franz Joseph.
Crowned heads, statesmen, diplomats and politicians lodged in Sacher: Edward VIII, Wallis Simpson, Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Prince Rainier, Princesse Grace, John F. Kennedy, Kofi Annan and many others...
Due to its close proximity to the Opera House, of course also many artists were among the guests: Herbert von Karajan, Leonard Bernstein, Leo Slezak, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and Rudolf Nureyev. Music critic Marcel Prawy lived until his death in 2003 even as a permanent guest at the Sacher.
Graham Greene got here the idea for the screenplay of the film The Third Man. A British officer told him about the underground passages of Vienna, whereupon Greene immediately in the bar wrote down the first ideas.
The role in the Sissi films Romy Schneider owed her similarity with the bust of the Empress, who stands in the hotel and was noticed by director Ernst Marischka. During filming, she lived with her mother Magda Schneider in Sacher.
To an unusual press conference invited in April 1969 John Lennon and Yoko Ono to the Sacher. They held one of their legendary "Bagism" actions in their hotel room before representatives of the press (including André Heller, who reported for the Ö3 Musicbox) in order to voice their ideas of world peace.
Traditionally, all the suites are named after operas and composers (eg La Traviata, Carmen, Idomeneo, The Magic Flute, Madame Butterfly, Nabucco, Rigoletto, Leonard Bernstein etc.). The new suites on the top floor of the house bear the names of contemporary operas, such as Lulu and Billy Budd.

Das Hotel Sacher vom Albertinaplatz aus gesehen
Das Hotel Sacher befindet sich im 1. Wiener Gemeindebezirk Innere Stadt hinter der Wiener Staatsoper. Bekannte Spezialität des Hauses ist die Original Sachertorte. Das Hotel ist Mitglied der Leading Hotels of the World.
Geschichte
Anna Maria Sacher
Auf dem Grundstück des abgerissenen Kärntnertortheaters, direkt gegenüber der neu eröffneten k.u.k. Hofoper, wurde eine Maison meublé errichtet. Der Gastronom Eduard Sacher erwarb das einem Renaissance-Palast nachempfundene Haus und eröffnete 1876 das Hotel de l'Opera mit Restaurant. Der Sohn von Franz Sacher, dem Erfinder der Sachertorte, hatte sich aber bereits als Gastronom selbst einen Namen gemacht und benannte das Haus schnell in Hotel Sacher um.
Er heiratete 1880 die 21-jährige Anna Fuchs, die fortan im Hotel mitarbeitete und schnell die Geschäfte übernahm, da sich der Gesundheitszustand ihres Mannes verschlechterte. 1892 starb Eduard, und Anna Sacher führte nun das Hotel als sogenannten Witwenbetrieb. Die nach damaligen Verhältnissen äußerst emanzipierte Frau, die stets mit Zigarre und ihren geliebten Französischen Bulldoggen (in Wien: „Sacher-Bullys“) anzutreffen war, führte den Betrieb mit Strenge, aber auch mit Güte. So unterhielt sie bereits damals eine Betriebskrankenkasse für ihre Angestellten.
Von Anfang an zählte das Sacher zu den besten Adressen in der Stadt und wurde 1871 für den Wein- und Delikatessenhandel zum k.u.k. Hoflieferant ernannt. Dieses Privileg wurde nach dem Tod von Eduard Sacher seiner Witwe Anna noch einmal verliehen. Vor der Oper genoss man die exquisite Küche, man traf sich in den legendären Séparées, und auch hochrangige Vertreter aus der Politik nutzten das stets diskrete Haus für Besprechungen. Das exklusive Hotel war bereits eine gesellschaftliche Institution. Doch gingen auch die wirtschaftlich schwierigen Jahre nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg nicht spurlos an dem Haus vorüber.
Kurz vor ihrem Tod im Jahr 1930 zog sich Anna Sacher aus der Führung zurück. Erst nach ihrem Tod wurde bekannt, dass das Hotel hoch verschuldet war und von dem einstigen Vermögen nicht viel übrig war. 1934 kam es schließlich zum Konkurs.
Der Anwalt Hans Gürtler, seine Frau Poldi und das Hotelierehepaar Josef und Anna Siller erwarben das mittlerweile heruntergekommene Haus und sanierten es umfangreich: Von der Heizungsanlage über die Elektrik und fließendem Kalt- und Warmwasser in allen Zimmern wurde alles den modernen Bedürfnissen angepasst. Von nun an sollte das verdiente Geld stets zurück in das Haus fließen. Erstmals wurde auch die Sachertorte nicht nur in den eigenen Räumen zum Verzehr angeboten, sondern auch an der Straße verkauft.
Das Haus wurde zunehmend wieder zum Treffpunkt für die Gesellschaft. Doch der Anschluss Österreichs an Hitler-Deutschland 1938 setzte dem ein jähes Ende. Hakenkreuzfahnen wehten nun vor dem Hotel. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs blieb das Haus aber weitgehend von Beschädigungen verschont. Direkt nach der Befreiung Wiens war es von sowjetischen Soldaten besetzt, der Wiener erste Bezirk um das Hotel wurde aber bald von den Alliierten gemeinsam verwaltet und geriet so sechs Jahre lang in britische Hände.
1951 erhielten die Familien Siller und Gürtler ihren Besitz zurück. Josef Siller war bereits 1949 gestorben. Wiederum musste das Hotel umfangreich saniert werden. So entstanden auch neue gastronomische Lokalitäten im Sacher. Hans Gürtler legte auch den Grundstock für die Kunstsammlung des 19. Jahrhunderts. 1962 starb Anna Siller, und das Hotel ging gänzlich in den Besitz der Familie Gürtler über. Im Jahr 1967 erhielt das Unternehmen die Staatliche Auszeichnung und darf seither das Bundeswappen im Geschäftsverkehr verwenden. Der Sohn Rolf Gürtler übernahm 1970 die Geschäfte, kam aber kurz darauf bei einem Unfall ums Leben, worauf ihm sein Sohn Peter Gürtler nachfolgte. Dieser übernahm 1989 auch das Hotel Österreichischer Hof in Salzburg. Dieses wurde später in Hotel Sacher Salzburg umbenannt. Seit seinem Tod 1990 führt seine von ihm 1983 geschiedene Frau Elisabeth Gürtler-Mauthner mit ihrer Tochter Alexandra das Familienunternehmen.
2006 wurde das Gebäude, das sich in seiner Bausubstanz aus insgesamt sechs Stadthäusern zusammensetzt, unter der Leitung des Architekturbüros Frank & Partner thermisch generalsaniert, und der Dachausbau, in dem ein Spa-Bereich untergebracht wurde, mit einem auffallenden hellen Aluminiumdach versehen.

Das Hotel Sacher bei Nacht
Als Mitglied des Hotellerieverbands The Leading Hotels of the World, das eine Qualitätskontrolle im Fünfsternehotellerie-Sektor sicherstellt, gehört das Hotel Sacher zu den besten Adressen Österreichs. Seit dem Ausbau 2006 erfüllt es auch die Kriterien eines Leading Spa.
Im Haus befinden sich das Restaurant Anna Sacher, die Rote Bar, die Blaue Bar, die Confiserie, das Café Sacher und das Sacher Eck. Das Café wurde 2004 mit der Goldenen Kaffeebohne von Jacobs ausgezeichnet.
Ebenfalls im Gebäude, aber nicht als ein Teil des Hotels, befindet sich der ehemalige k.u.k. Hof- und Kammerlieferant Wilhelm Jungmann & Neffe.
Seit 1999 wird die Original Sacher-Torte in einer eigenen Produktionsstelle in Wien Simmering hergestellt, von wo sie auch in die ganze Welt exportiert wird. Nach einem jahrzehntelangen Rechtsstreit mit der k.u.k Zuckerbäckerei Demel darf sich nur das Dessert aus dem Hause Sacher mit dem Prädikat „Original“ schmücken. Die Sachertorte wird von vielen Kaffeehäusern, Bäckereien und Konditoreien imitiert.
Bekannte Gäste
Haupteingang des Hotels am Abend
Zahlreiche prominente Gäste zählte das Haus in der Philharmonikerstraße. Anna Sacher hatte in ihrem Boudoir eine Fotogalerie ihrer Gäste. Die Unterschriften stickte sie selbst allesamt auf einem Tischtuch nach. Ganz in der Mitte die des Kaisers Franz Joseph.
Gekrönte Häupter, Staatsmänner, Diplomaten und Politiker logierten im Sacher: Edward VIII., Wallis Simpson, Elisabeth II., Prinz Philip, Fürst Rainier, Gracia Patricia, John F. Kennedy, Kofi Annan und viele mehr.
Durch die unmittelbare Nähe des Opernhauses gehörten natürlich auch viele Künstler zu den Gästen: Herbert von Karajan, Leonard Bernstein, Leo Slezak, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras und Rudolf Nurejew. Der Musikkritiker Marcel Prawy wohnte bis zu seinem Tod 2003 sogar als Dauergast im Sacher.
Graham Greene erhielt hier die Idee zum Drehbuch des Films Der dritte Mann. Ein britischer Offizier erzählte ihm von den unterirdischen Gängen Wiens, worauf Greene sofort in der Bar die ersten Ideen aufschrieb.
Ihre Rolle in den Sissi-Filmen verdankte Romy Schneider ihrer Ähnlichkeit mit der Büste der Kaiserin, die im Hotel steht und dem Regisseur Ernst Marischka aufgefallen war. Während der Dreharbeiten wohnte sie mit ihrer Mutter Magda Schneider im Sacher.
Zu einer ungewöhnlichen Pressekonferenz luden im April 1969 John Lennon und Yoko Ono ins Sacher. Sie hielten eine ihrer legendären „Bagism“-Aktionen in ihrem Hotelzimmer vor Pressevertretern (darunter André Heller, der für die Ö3-Musicbox berichtete) ab, um ihre Vorstellungen des Weltfriedens kundzutun.
Traditionsgemäß sind alle Suiten des Hauses nach Opern und Komponisten benannt (z.B. La Traviata, Carmen, Idomeneo, Die Zauberflöte, Madame Butterfly, Nabucco, Rigoletto, Leonard Bernstein etc.). Die neuen Suiten im Dachgeschoss des Hauses tragen die Namen von zeitgenössischen Opern, beispielsweise Lulu und Billy Budd benannt.
