During the D-Day invasion at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944, thousands of Allied troops faced heavy fire while attempting to land. Estimates suggest that around 2,400 American soldiers were killed, wounded, or missing by the end of the day. While exact figures for those specifically dying while trying to get out of the boats are hard to pinpoint, many casualties occurred in the initial moments as troops disembarked under intense enemy fire. The overwhelming conditions on Omaha Beach contributed significantly to the high casualty rate.
