The beaches were divided up into where the United States were attacking and where the British were going to attack. The United States beaches were Utah beach and Omaha beach. The British beaches were called Gold beach, Juno beach, and Sword beach. These are all code names for different parts of Normandy. Normandy is the whole beach and these other names are just parts to invade.
the beach code names for June 6 1944 invasion of Normandy were: Utah, Omaha, Juno, Sword and Gold
There were no US Marines on the BEACHES at Normandy. There were marine snipers on the highest points on the ships firing at badly placed mines and MG nests along the beach. There were marines operating the main guns on the ships.
The beach code names were Omaha, Utah, Sword, Gold and Juno. All were within 15 miles on northern Normandy.
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 American cemetery at Normandy is the NORMANDY AMERICAN CEMETERY AND MEMORIAL located at Collieville sur Mur.

His son was a Lt Ollie Reed Jr. of the 91st Infantry Division who died on 6 July in Italy.Go to the ABMC site and read the history and statistics.
