Yep, nasty shit. One 75mm A/T gun hidden in the hedge backed up by a squad of infantry with an MG-42 and you could tie that road up for hours.
And you wouldn't know they were there until they opened up. And the bocage was ubiquitous to Normandy.

I suspect you're right about Omaha in the American mindset. The other fuckup there was the reliance on duplex drive tanks - most of which sank before they reached the beach.

The Americans overcame those hedgerows by modifying their Sherman Tanks with hedge cutters welded together from scrap metal. Afterward they were able to punch through them with relative ease.
