Omaha Beach

How was enfilading and plunging fire used at Omaha Beach on Operation Overlord?
"enfilade fire" is when you can direct your fire against the long axis of an enemy formation. It gives you the greatest number of targets and highest chance to hit.
"plunging fire" is firing at your enemy from a higher elevation, or firing in an arc such that the round comes relatively straight down on them.
The Nazi fortifications were placed to allow both.
