garandman is correct on the 1st question.

My #'s according to one web site is 5,436 killed or wounded.

More facts:
Allied:
150,000 Troops (11 Divisions)
1,500 Tanks (2 Divisions)
5,300 ships and landing craft
12,000 airplanes
20,000 airborne troops

Germans in the battle zone:
80,000 Troops
1 Panzer tank division

Germans Defending France:
60 Infantry Divisions
10 Tank Divisions

Casualties:
2,500 Allied soldiers killed.
D-Day planners had forcast 10,000 dead.

I have always thought that May 1st was the ORIGINAL date, but was delayed because a lack for landing crafts, many were brought from the Pacific theater. Delayed again on the 5th cause of the  weather.
