The D-Day invasion of Normandy could not have happened without the US. America supplied millions of troops, many ships, aircraft and weapons.
No. The US 86 Infantry Division did not land on D-Day, 6 June 1944. Many units arrived in France at the beaches of Normandy after the fighting had moved on further east. So you will read where someone says he landed at Normandy but it doesn't mean he was part of the initial invasion force.
The objective was to land as many soldiers and support vehicles as possible.
The invasion of Normandy did not take place in just one day, June 6. The Allied landings continued for over 2 months. This was the period called the Battle of Normandy. Over 425,000 Allied and German troops were killed, wounded or went missing during the Battle of Normandy.
I think I there was around 425,000 casualties on the Allies and Axis sides combined.
On the first day of Operation Overlord, 160,000 troops landed with many more following.
