The main invading force was American, British and Canadian,... on
D-Day there were Free French on the beaches ... [and] Free French
paratroopers were dropped in Brittany (the province west of Normandy)
to help with that; their success was a factor in the American victory
on the Cotentin Peninsula.
I think the force on the beaches was a token couple of hundred
commandos sent in with a British division, but they were there.
