That's for the overall invasion that spanned more than a month ( AKA germans defending half of france ). I'm talking about D-Day ( 1 day ) incident where hardly any fighting took place.
It was impossible for 50K german soldiers to defend the beaches because germany had no air force and no navy to protect them. The allied navy and air force pretty much cleared out the beaches and the germans had moved most of their forces to the east. Only a skeletal force of a few thousand were left to defend the beaches.
