In the battle Nazi general Wilhelm Falley was killed by US paratroopers who played a
decisive part in securing the beaches. The Allies suffered less casualties than expected
and it is believed that the Germans suffered high casualties. Estimates say that anywhere
from 10% to 33% of German soldiers were killed in the battles at Normandy. It is
believed that the Allies have landed 130,000 troops and 20,000 airborne troops in their
full commitment to liberate France.
