Have you read about the 900+ American deaths in the live ammunition training on British beaches before D-day. UK and commonwealth forces where told to open live fire on the Americans running up the British beaches for training. Many where shot and other panicked and drowned. 600 of the 900 died when German E-boats attacked the training ships and the British where orderd to hold fire so the Germans would not suspect a illitary build up.
This is compared to only about 200 deaths on the real Utah Beach.
