D-Day information that only guys like us appreciate

[Louis of PA]

"Spearheading D-Day" -- a very good book on the topic of the technical and doctrinal preparation for the landings, and how it worked out.

They have a set of images of re-enactors showing the uniforms and gear among their pages. I would have preferred original photos of the guys who were really there but it's a minor beef. Apparently there are Dutch organizations for WW II re-enacting.

Oddly, that fine book was printed in France; I forget the publisher's name. I don't object to the staged photos; to show the gear clearly would have been virtually impossible if original photos had been used; those folks didn't have a lot of time to pose for pictures in those days.
