The Allies landed on five beaches in the French province of Normandy on D-Day. The Americans landed on the two largest: Omaha and Utah Beach. Utah Beach was a typical beach invasion that went well, with moderate (within expectation) casualties. Omaha Beach was a slaughterhouse, but with tenacity, it was held. Sword, Gold and Juno beaches were taken by the British and Canadians with only moderate resistance.
