Im not sure here but these appear to be

1.SS-Panzer-Division - "Leibstandarte-SS Adolf Hitler"
2.SS-Panzer-Division - "Das Reich" (also "Verfügungstruppe", "Deutschland", "Reich")
3.SS-Panzer-Division - "Totenkopf"
9.SS-Panzer-Division - "Hohenstaufen"
10.SS-Panzer-Division - "Frundsberg" (also "Karl der Große")
12.SS-Panzer-Division - "Hitlerjugend"
17.SS-Panzergrenadier-Division - "Götz von Berlichingen"

Totenkopf division was not in France during the Normandy campaign, it was in the east.

As for the 17. SS PzGren Div, I've studied it some for a possible German Normandy campaign - but I shelved it. Nobody would want to play the 17. SS in Normandy - it was not particulary well equipped and it was reduced in combat pretty much the same as any other German formation in that campaign.
