Most of the casualties and fatalities occurred at Omaha beach, due to it recieving the least amount of damage from the infiltration of paratroopers and the preceding bombing raids. Most or all of the big guns were still in tact when the troops were landing there. Also it was probabaly the most natural defensive position out of all the beaches hit.
2300 american fatalities right.?.?
