The Normandy D Day was far larger than the D Day for Okinawa. Over 5000 ships and hundreds of planes and hundreds of thousands of troops were involved in the Normandy Invasion. The invasion on Okinawa was peanuts compared to that.
In Okinawa, Japan lost over 100,000 soldiers, who were either killed, captured or committed suicide, and the Allies suffered more than 65,000 casualties in the Okinawa which was a 82-day-long battle lasted from early April until mid-June 1945.
The day of the landings
Agent Orange was used in Okinawa.
Probably none. The Mongols invading Japan caused no surrender. D-Day caused no surrender. Okinawa nor Iwo Jima caused surrender. Gallopoli caused no surrender. The Normans landing in England caused no surrender.
Naha is the capital. Kadena city. Coza, Onna, Nago, Okinawa just to name a few.

The most famous D-Day, the allied invasion of Normandy, was June 6, 1944. However, there were many other D-Days, since the term was used to designate the date of any one of the amphibious landings, most of which were carried out in the Pacific against Japanese-occupied islands, such as Tarawa, Guam, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa, among others.
On this cloudy day, August 7, 2008, it is about 30C (86F).
沖縄県 (okinawa-ken), which is "Okinawa Prefecture", omitting the last Kanji 県 (ken) makes it 沖縄 (okinawa).
The greatest in numbers: D-Day/Normandy in 1944, had the greatest COLLECTION of vessels and personnel. The greatest in violence: Okinawa in 1945, was the most violent and deadly.
