Heinrich Severloh
Heinrich Severloh
Heinrich "Hein" Severloh was a soldier in the German 352nd Infantry Division stationed in Normandy in 1944. He became infamous for a memoir WN 62 – Erinnerungen an Omaha Beach Normandie, 6. Juni 1944, published in 2000. In the book, the auhors' claim that as a machine gunner, Severloh inflicted over 1,000 and possibly over 2,000 casualties to the American soldiers landing on Omaha Beach on D-Day. However, Severloh's claim is not viewed as credible by either US or German historians. Total US casualties from all sources along the five-mile length of Omaha Beach on D-Day are estimated at about 2,400.
