How many people died on Omaha Beach on D-Day?
2374 men from multiple military units died on Omaha Beach on D Day. A total of approximately 4000 men were killed on D-Day (including the Paratroopers). It got worse the next day as they had to get through the hedgerows.
What geological obstacle kept the 21st panzer division from attacking the allies on d-day?
The 21st Panzer Division was hindered by the difficult terrain of the Norman countryside, particularly the dense hedgerows and the steep, uneven landscape. This made rapid movement and coordination challenging for armored units. Additionally, the division faced delays due to a lack of clear orders and the disruption caused by the Allied airborne landings, which further impeded their ability to respond effectively on D-Day.
What geographed obstacle kept the 21st panzer divisi and oacuten from attacking the allies on DDay?
The 21st Panzer Division and other German forces were hindered by the difficult terrain around Normandy, particularly the hedgerows and bocage landscape. These dense, overgrown fields created natural barriers that restricted movement and visibility, limiting the effectiveness of armored units. Additionally, the surprise and chaos of the Allied landings on D-Day further complicated their ability to launch a coordinated counterattack. As a result, the combination of geography and the initial shock of the invasion delayed their response.
How many people died on D-day in World War 2?
This question is more difficult to answer than may appear at first. The assault on Nazi-occupied France represented the largest military armada in history. More than 5,000 ships and landing craft participated in the operation. In all, some 160,000 men participated in the first wave (three paratroop and six infantry divisions, tank and commando units) commencing on June 6, 1944. With such a massive force on the Allied side, combined with an unknown number of German troops, an exact death toll is not now known and may never be since bodies are even yet being unearthed on the beaches. Part of the difficulty is the number of attack fronts (beaches) and push beyond the beaches and into the French interior following the initial wave. In short, estimates of allied deaths range from 2,500 to 5,000 on D-Day. Numbers of German dead range from 4,000 to 9,000. "It's very difficult to get accurate figures. People get buried. Bodies disintegrate. Evidence of the deaths disappeared. People drowned," said John Keegan, author of "Six Armies in Normandy: From D-Day to the Liberation of Paris." Carol Tuckwiller of the National D-Day Memorial Foundation reports, "We feel like we're probably going to end up with a total of about 4,500 fatalities for both the Americans and Allied countries. Right now, we have about 4,200 names confirmed." Her organization has spent four years combing through government, military and cemetery records for names of Allied dead on D-Day. Adding to the difficulty identifying a valid number of deaths associated with D-Day operations is the deaths involved in the preparations for the assault. The D-Day Museum in Portsmouth, England claims more than 19,000 civilians in Normandy also died in Allied bombing before and after D-Day to soften up German defenses. And Allied air forces lost nearly 12,000 men in April and May 1944 in operations ahead of the invasion. These deaths, including civilians and military personelle who lost their lives before and after D-Day are clearly associated with the battle, and a part of the terrible cost of freedom, but may be overlooked in may accountings of D-Day death tolls. Additionally, D-Day marked only the start of the battle of Normandy, which claimed many more lives as troops fought in the region's hedgerows over the next three months. More than 425,000 Allied and German troops were killed, wounded or went missing, the D-Day Museum says. The American Cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach holds the remains of 9,383 servicemen and four women, perhaps one of the only sure quantifiable sources to the terrible conflict's death toll (the German cemetery itself contains 80,000 graves for German soldiers killed in the area during the battles).

Removing hedgerows can lead to a loss of biodiversity as these habitats provide food and shelter for various wildlife species. It can also result in increased soil erosion and reduced water quality due to the loss of natural barriers that help hold soil and filter water. Additionally, hedgerows play a role in carbon sequestration, so their removal can contribute to climate change.

If you replace them with new hedgerows, not much apart from annoying the various creatures that previously lived there (birds, insects). If you replace them with other things, then you will still annoy those things, but you may change other aspects too.
