This incredibly rare piece of D-Day shrapnel was excavated during a professional excavation of the D-Day Normandy beachhead known as Omaha Beach. Because this German shrapnel was found on the Omaha beachhead it leaves no guessing that this mortar or artillery fragment was fired on the American troops as they exited the Higgins boat and began their initial assault of Operation Overlord.
The 1st Infantry Division that assault Omaha Beach experienced the worst ordeal of D-Day operations. The Americans that landed on the same sand this mortar shell tip was dug from suffered 2,400 casualties throughout the Charlie, Dog, Easy, and Fox zones.
