How many troops were there on d-day and where did they come from?

Answer 1

Answer150,000 troops stormed Normandy beaches. About 2,500 GI's died on the beaches and 2,600 paratroopers died. And 3,100 Germans died.

D Day casualties were around 10,000 allies and 4000 to 9000 German.

Although the US only provided about 45% of the landing troops on that day, they suffered about 60% of the casualties. 2500 allies died with about 1500 being American, a reflection of the extreme difficulties experienced on Omaha beach in particular.

More recent research has suggested that these figures a far to low.
