The Germans vs. the Allies.
The Allied countries that took on the invasion were America (Utah and Omaha beaches), Britain (Sword and Gold beaches) and Canada (Juno Beach).
Although it is most commonly reported Omaha beach invaders faced the heaviest defence, the Canadian Juno beach actually had heavier defence and higher casulties. Juno Beach was reported to have had nearly none of the defenses wiped out by the coastal bombardment.
All 5 beaches were guarded by German Nazi soldiers.
