B) The Whole Campaign (from Wikipedia) AlliesFrom D-Day to 21 August, the Allies landed 2,052,299 men in northern France. The cost of the Normandy campaign was high for both sides.[11] Between 6 June and the end of August, the American armies suffered 124,394 casualties, of which 20,668 were killed.[e] Casualties within the First Canadian and Second British Army are placed at 83,045: 15,995 killed, 57,996 wounded, and 9,054 missing.[f] Of these, Canadian losses amounted to 18,444, with 5,021 killed in action.[194] The Allied air forces, having flown 480,317 sorties in support of the invasion, lost 4,101 aircraft and 16,714 airmen (8,536 members of the USAAF, and 8,178 flying under the command of the RAF).[11][195] The Free French SAS paratroopers suffered 77 killed, with 197 wounded and missing.[196] Allied tank losses have been estimated at around 4,000, with losses split evenly between the American and British/Canadian armies.[12] Historians slightly differ on overall casualties during the campaign, with the lowest losses totaling 225,606[197][198] and the highest at 226,386.[199][200]
German forces in France reported losses of 158,930 men between D-Day and 14 August, just before the start of Operation Dragoon in Southern France.[201] In action at the Falaise pocket, 50,000 men were lost, of which 10,000 were killed and 40,000 captured.[12] Estimates of German losses for the Normandy campaign range from 400,000 (200,000 killed or wounded; 200,000 captured)[13] to 530,000.[14] There are no exact figures regarding German tank losses in Normandy. Approximately 2,300 tanks and assault guns were committed to the battle, of which only 100 to 120 crossed the Seine at the end of the campaign.[10] While German forces reported only 481 tanks destroyed between D-day and 31 July,[201] research conducted by No. 2 Operational Research Section of 21st Army Group indicates that the Allies destroyed around 550 tanks in June and July[202] and another 500 in August,[203] for a total loss of 1,050 tanks.
