Allied deaths were about 5,000.
D = death. Death day
The day of the landings
Days are labeled D + number. So the day after D-Day would be D+1, the week after D-Day D+7, the month after D-Day D+30, etc.
The latest and most accurate count shows approximately 4,000 Americans Killed on D-Day.
It's either D for Decision or Deliverance, but most likely is that D was simply a code letter.D-Day stands for Death Day. Death Day was when a bunch of soldiers stormed a beach in France, and many died.------The real meaning of D-day is less prosaic than Death Day. D is a military short form for day. I've included a link that explains it in more detail. It was a military way of referring to the actual day of operation. (See Related Links below)
