The vast majority of the german military and casualties, were in the eastern front.
> Edit: also the claim "most of our casualties on that day was friendly fire and accidental drowning" is pretty ridiculous.
It's pretty much common sense. Considering the low number of german troops, the poor coordination on our side and of course the odds of accidents and friendly fire incidents. It's pretty much a statistical certainty that most of the deaths on D-Day were accidents and friendly fire. But lets throw out common sense and statistics out the window.
The germans had no navy. They had no air force. They had nothing. Against the might of the US and British power on D-Day. But we can pretend that the germans managed a 2 to 1 casualty victory. Or I'm sure that's what your "sources" will try to convince us.
