10,000, of whom 2,500 died.

Here is the breakdown of the casualties:

British - 2700

Canadians - 946

Americans - 6603

15,000-20,000 French civilians died with an unknown number of casualties.

Britain: 2,700 killed

United States: 1,465 killed

Canada: 500 killed

Germany: 4,000 killed

Axis Casualties:

9,000

Allied Casualties:

Estimated at 10,000; exact figures not available

However, the allies attacked in greater numbers, and lost far less troops than the Germans, percentage wise. There were only 10,000 German troops guarding the coastline. Compare that to the 175,000 allied troops who attacked.

Over 425,000 Allied and German troops were killed, wounded or went missing during the Battle of Normandy. This means over 209,000 Allied casualties, with nearly 37,000 dead ground forces and a further 16,714 deaths in the Allied air forces. Of the Allied casualties, 83,045 were from 21st soldier Group (British, Canadian and Polish ground forces), 125,847 from the US ground forces. The losses of the Axis troops during the Battle of Normandy can only be estimated, about 200,000 German troops were killed or wounded. The Allies also captured 200,000 prisoners of war (not included in the 425,000 total, above). During the fighting around the Falaise Pocket by itself, the Germans suffered losses of around 90,000, including prisoners.

There were an estimated 10,000 Allied casualties on D-Day, which comprises dead, wounded, and missing. There are no official figures for D-Day casualties, only estimates.

In the Allied landings at Normandy, one estimate of US losses was 2500 killed and another 4100 wounded. British casualties totalled about 2700 and Canadian 1000 (300 dead).

Casualties among German defenders numbered between 4000 and 9000, which could include those lost defending the beaches as well as subsequent fighting during their retreat.

Technically, since D-Day (Allied invasion of Normandy) took place in France, then people in Britain were not killed. British & Commonwealth service members were killed on D-Day during the invasion in France or at sea or in the air.
