Normandy Engineer
#2

Here are a list of engineer units that took part in the Normandy invasion. As you can see it is very, very extensive. I don't think that people realize the scope of the operation for D-Day. These are JUST ENGINEER units, period. It kind of brings things to focus.

 

Of course we would have to go in and eliminate units and narrow it down to just those who landed on Omaha for you. But as you can see, it would be helpful to have a bit more info, even a patch or something to go on... :pdt34:
