It's fine to act all tough and careless on the net, sure everyone does it, but to be complete jackass to the 60.000 people dead, and god knows how many more Widows and Orphans... That's jsut disrespect in it's biggest form. We can sit here and say "Shit happens" but that ain't right. You wouldn't be saying it if your entire family was killed in an instant, along with your home, all your belongings and the families and homes of your nieghbors... You might find it cute to talk back, insulting everything, but it's just disrespect. If you have no care about these people offline, you have no reason of any form of human contact, all you are is a filthy maggot...

This messageboard never fails to depress me. I have absolutely no respect for anyone who uses this tragedy as an excuse to post shit. The number of dead is up to 68 000 now, and it's going to rise a hell of a lot.  1300 fucking Norwegians are missing over there, which should say a lot about just how many are missing in total.

You can't even comprehend that loss of life, or am I mistaken and you have awakened to find your street littered with bodies and debris? The Red Cross is a fraudulent organization. Speaking of Rwanda, where was everyone when that happened? Where was everyone when Saddam's mass graves were uncovered? More importantly where is everyone with the ongoing mass murders in Sudan, the ongoing human rights violations occurring in China and North Korea, and the ongoing Balkan sex trade?

The "grudge" that I have is that people try to make this out to be the worst travesty in years, when there have been and still are countless other devastating events that seem to continually be ignored by the rest of the world. All that I'm trying to say is where were you guys when all that other stuff was happening?

Perhaps you would care to enlighten us as to which natural disasters have caused hundreds of thousands to die while causing the earth to wobble on it's axis enough to effectively speed up it's rotation.  God knows what affect this will have on climate, volcanic activity etc.  I say hundreds of thousands because indonesia alone is stating that they will have at least eighty thousand not to mention the death toll in the other countries.  Now we have to prevent disease which will surely kill many more.  I really cannot grasp why you do not think that this is a tradgedy.

I work for the news, and I can honestly say it's by far the most disturbing footage I have seen, and I have see it all.

How many Allied and German casualties were there on D-Day, and in the Battle of Normandy?

“Casualties” refers to all losses suffered by the armed forces: killed, wounded, missing in action (meaning that their bodies were not found) and prisoners of war. There is no "official" casualty figure for D-Day. Under the circumstances, accurate record keeping was very difficult. For example, some troops who were listed as missing may actually have landed in the wrong place, and have rejoined their parent unit only later.

In April and May 1944, the Allied air forces lost nearly 12,000 men and over 2,000 aircraft in operations which paved the way for D-Day.

Total Allied casualties on D-Day are estimated at 10,000, including 2500 dead. British casualties on D-Day have been estimated at approximately 2700. The Canadians lost 946 casualties. The US forces lost 6603 men. Note that the casualty figures for smaller units do not always add up to equal these overall figures exactly, however (this simply reflects the problems of obtaining accurate casualty statistics).

Casualties on the British beaches were roughly 1000 on Gold Beach and the same number on Sword Beach. The remainder of the British losses were amongst the airborne troops: some 600 were killed or wounded, and 600 more were missing; 100 glider pilots also became casualties. The losses of 3rd Canadian Division at Juno Beach have been given as 340 killed, 574 wounded and 47 taken prisoner.

The breakdown of US casualties was 1465 dead, 3184 wounded, 1928 missing and 26 captured. Of the total US figure, 2499 casualties were from the US airborne troops (238 of them being deaths). The casualties at Utah Beach were relatively light: 197, including 60 missing. However, the US 1st and 29th Divisions together suffered around 2000 casualties at Omaha Beach.

The total German casualties on D-Day are not known, but are estimated as being between 4000 and 9000 men.

Naval losses for June 1944 included 24 warships and 35 merchantmen or auxiliaries sunk, and a further 120 vessels damaged.

Over 425,000 Allied and German troops were killed, wounded or went missing during the Battle of Normandy. This figure includes over 209,000 Allied casualties, with nearly 37,000 dead amongst the ground forces and a further 16,714 deaths amongst the Allied air forces. Of the Allied casualties, 83,045 were from 21st Army Group (British, Canadian and Polish ground forces), 125,847 from the US ground forces. The losses of the German forces during the Battle of Normandy can only be estimated. Roughly 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 (August 1944) alone, the Germans suffered losses of around 90,000, including prisoners.

Today, twenty-seven war cemeteries hold the remains of over 110,000 dead from both sides: 77,866 German, 9386 American, 17,769 British, 5002 Canadian and 650 Poles.

Between 15,000 and 20,000 French civilians were killed, mainly as a result of Allied bombing. Thousands more fled their homes to escape the fighting.
