Counting the Dead: Normandy, 1944

Counting the Dead: Normandy, 1944

The bodies of American soldiers await burial in Normandy following D-Day. Allied casualties were so high that some armies had to create a new category to describe them, "Double Intense." By the time the Allies had solidified their foothold in France, there were an estimated 450,000 casualties on both sides.
