I think not. I did not say that the fighting was not tough (which it definitely was on Omaha and to a lesser extent the British beaches - the fighting WAS extremely nasty for the first units that landed, but once the beaches were secure, things went smoothly), simply that the Allies suceeded quite well. The D-Day museum estimates that the two divisons at Omaha, the 1st and 29th, took about 2,000 casulties together on the first day. Total casulties for the Allies were about 10,000 out of a total force of about 156,000.
