Yup. That’s amazing.

A terrific idea well executed. I give it a 10/10.

I like it, but why 9,000? Is that just the number they could fit in the space or time available? Because it doesn’t appear to have any direct correspondence to numbers I can find about D-day losses.

Remember, this includes the German losses as well. From the D-day fact sheet of the World War II Museum in New Orleans
