What was the life expectancy at Normandy?

Answer 1

This is not accurate at all - there are many factors - the key one being one's rank - geographic landing area - not all beaches were as bad as Omaha for instance - and whether the soldier was front-line. A staff officer - for example - or intelligence officer - might not be exposed to direct fire at the tip of the spear. According to Antony Beevor, it was approximately 3 weeks of fighting - if you were on the frontline on a daily basis.

Answer 2

The life expectancy at Normandy was basically zero. The commanders of the U.S. troops warned the men of this before they hit the beach.

Answer 3

Seven and a half

or

7 1/2
