This map shows the initial assault and where they were stalled by major resistance after they got off the beachhead. Again, notice that the area where Tom Hanks and Co. landed. By noon they still had not gotten off the beach. So, the movie condensed time a lot for the D-Day sequence, but they still did a great job getting the idea across that those guys landed in the worst meat grinder on Omaha, itself a slaughter house across the board.
