I think I read that our D-Day deaths numbered around 6,000. I don't know what the number wounded was.

I've heard that 6000 was the number of casualties, dead and wounded on D-Day but the area's cemeteries are largely filled with those killed on D-Day plus three, +11, +19, etc.

Here's a table from a Forbes article, your 6000 death figure was accurate
