How much did soldiers weight on D-day?

On D-Day, soldiers typically carried equipment that added significant weight to their load, often exceeding 100 pounds (about 45 kilograms) when including weapons, ammunition, food supplies, and personal gear. The combined weight of their uniforms and gear varied, but soldiers generally weighed between 160 to 200 pounds (about 73 to 91 kilograms) without their equipment. This heavy load posed challenges during the landings and contributed to the difficulties faced by Allied troops on June 6, 1944.
