A total of 4,414 Allied troops were killed on D-Day itself, including 2,501 Americans. More than 5,000 were wounded. In the ensuing Battle of Normandy, 73,000 Allied forces were killed and 153,000 wounded.

Unbelievable sacrifices made by so many.

Even 20,000 French civilians were killed, mostly by allied fire into villages where Germans were hiding out.
