Greetings Horvath,
Here is a list of a few good internet sites that show Omaha Beach
http://www.dday.co.uk/
http://www.angelfire.com/md/29division/index.html
http://www.6juin1944.com/
http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/60nov/omaha.htm
http://www.normandyallies.org/barnes.htm
http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/books/wwii/100-11/100-11.htm This site contains the official US history on the DDay landings and its most comprehensive.

http://www.atlantikwall-bildergalerie.d ... _beach.htm

Perhaps one of these sites has the information that you are looking for? I also have a large collection of pictures and many maps on this subject. Perhaps if you let me know what you are specifically looking for I can help. Sincerely, J.M.
