This is difficult to answer, due to the fact that the exact number of Allied slain on D-Day is still unknown. It is known, from first-hand witnesses, that there were a number of blacks that were pushed to the front lines. Thus, it is reasonable to guess at the possibility of at least eighty percent of those blacks who were there having been killed, as eighty percent has been cited as the mortality rate of Normandy landing parties.

A casualty was a casualty in the Army. They did not classify casualties ethnically.
Over 170,000 men survived the beach landings, Glider landings and parachuting in.
The death toll on Normandy on D-Day was terrible, with many Americans being shot before they could even reach the beach. They had to unload from cargo ships and often were shot by enemy fire before they could get off a shot or land on the beach. There is a vast cemetery in France with names of US serviceman who were killed that day.

The planned D-Day assault on the beaches of Normandy would be a complicated military operation. In order to prepare US troops and their commanders for this operation a beach in eastern England was chosen as a practice place for the invasion of Normandy. The English shoreline area that was chosen was considered to be almost a duplicate of the Utah Beach planned for the Normandy invasion. Due to failures in communications between British and American practice forces, approximately 1,000 US troops were killed by accidents during the practice assault.
The graves are not at the beach itself but are located in Normandy at a special graveyard. There are close to 40,000 graves the last I heard. I could be wrong because some families have transferred their loved ones to their own nation.
