The British 6th Airborne Division was dropped a good 45 miles away from the US 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions. How do you propose the men get from east of Caen to west of Carentan?

and wouldnt the americans have a british and canadian liason? with there big shots in the blown out bunker?(just after the beach scene when miller is given the assignment)

That would occur above the units portrayed in this move.

also to be a stick in the mud, wasnt that scene from the utah beach? omaha was rangers landing and climbing cliffs, and omaha recieved the worst casualties correct? utah beach recived less casualties.
and what about the pictures from americans landing on utah beach (in the landing craft) wow the whizzing machine gun bullets and bunkers are so visible in that picture and men are lying everywhere with disfigured bodies and americans are hiding behind czech hedgehogs while the machine guns are raking the beaches and killing 9/10 men.

I am assuming that the "that scene" you are refering to is the beach assault scene at the start of the movie. No, it portrays Charlie Sector of Omaha Beach, adjacent to Dog Green. C Company/2 Ranger Battalion landed to the right of A Co./116thIR/29thID. Both landed at the Vierville Draw, a land feature that was mentioned more than one time during that scene. "A" Company of the 116th lost about 96% of it's men within 10 minutes of hitting the beach.
The climb up cliffs you are asking about was made further to the west at Pointe du Hoc, between Omaha and Utah beaches, by Cos. D, E & F of the 2nd Rangers.
