Can You Survive D-Day?

Omaha Beach was the bloodiest few hours of the war for the men who landed there.

The plan came apart almost immediately. Boats landed in the wrong places, officers fell in the first minutes, and the men who made it ashore found a beach nothing had prepared them for. What happened next came down to a series of choices, made in seconds, under fire.

This quiz isn’t about generals or dates. It’s about judgment, in the worst hour of the twentieth century. Each scenario puts you on that beach at 6:30 on the morning of June 6, 1944, facing choices real men faced. Pick the option you think gives you the best chance—and find out whether you’d have made it off Omaha, or been left in the surf.
