Title

1944 - D Day through Europe
Description
An account of the resource
My personal Wartime history taken from my snapshot album after the Normandy D-Day initial beach assault, to the end of hostilities. Each one has a precious memory for me and it is my wish to share these few historical photgraphs with you. My Unit, the 56th Signal Battalion, was directed to participate in the June 6, 1944 DDay amphibious operation NEPTUNE at Omaha Beach, Normandy with the assigned mission of providing communications for V Corps of the First United States Army prior to, during and after the Normandy amphibious phase of the June 6, 1944 operations as well as during the following campaign on the continent. The organization was divided into several detachments in order to provide communications for the various echelons as desired by the Commanding General. Detachments were organized on or about 21 April 1944 at Norton Manor Camp, near Taunton, England, as directed by the Battalion Commander and in accordance with plans developed with the different staff sections of V Corps Headquarters of the United States First Army under the direction of Lt. General Omar N. Bradley.
We were not allowed to take images during the invasion, so the photos begin once settled a few miles off the Normandy Beaches.

Devastation at Kassel, Germany 1945
Description
An account of the resource
The Main Street!!!! The damage to this city was almost complete at the time this photo was taken. rubble and stone reduced to almost a powder. It must have been a horrible experience for the citizens of this city to endure such complete destruction. Not much sign of life or opposition as we passed through so quickly.The dazed silent creatures only gazed back at us with empty eyes, as we sped on into the unknowns of our own fate.
