D-day

[Marquis of Roland]

1400 U.S. fatalities. 1200 at Omaha and 200 at utah. The other 900 were between the Canadian and British forces.

Not bad. Pretty light losses for landing over 100,000 men. I'd take a 2.3% casualty rate in RTW anyday.

if mine is higher than 3% i consider it a failure

There may have been only 2.3% overall casualties, but entire units ceased to exist after the landings. Not to mention that in Normandy a battalion bled to death faster than it would have at the Somme.
