this question cant be answered there will always be planes flying and landing so you will never know. :-[

About 10,000 soldiers
Yes, the Germans were heavily emplaced at every one of the landing beaches. They killed and wounded many thousands of the invading Allied troops right on the beaches.
Yes, it is possible to take a plane to the Bahamas. The island country in question will clear for landing private and public planes from many origin points as long as proper flight and landing procedures are observed.
Commercial planes slow down on landing primarily through the use of brakes and reverse thrust. After touchdown, pilots deploy the aircraft's wheel brakes to reduce speed, while many planes also engage thrust reversers, which redirect engine thrust forward to help decelerate. Additionally, some aircraft use speed brakes, which are panels that extend from the wings to increase drag. These combined methods allow for a safe and controlled landing process.
Over 350,000 Germans were guarding the Normandy beaches. It is estimated that over 7,000 died that first day of Operation Overlord.
Large passenger ships and cargo ships took troops near the beaches. From these ships small landing craft, many made in America by Higgins Corp. carried the troops on to the beaches. Many of the small ships were crewed by the US Coast Guard.
