I have a very old copy of Max Hastings 'Overlord - D-Day and the Battle for Normandy 1944' published in 1984. There are several photos in it, mainly from the British sector, credit to the 'BBC Hulton Picture Library'.

I found this very useful database of civilian losses suffered before, during and after the invasion:
