Ya, the main thing that got so many killed, was the terrible hit to miss ratio of the naval bombardments. Also, the 101st and 82nd airborne divisions were misdropped so they didn't get to flank the beaches or, really, get their mission done, many of them were killed upon landing into german occupied towns.
