I remember reading somewhere that Eisenhower and the other generals who planned the invasion at Normandy thought the Allied deaths during the battle might be as high as 70%, and planned for that in their plans for the invasion. I cannot find where I read it, and I cannot find anything that states what their estimates were.
Do any of you history junkies remember reading similarly high numbers? If I am completely off, could you tell me what estimates you have read?
Any solid information (meaning not guesses) will be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
