CARENTAN - Linking Omaha Beach / Utah Beach, Part 4
CARENTAN, Linking Omaha Beach - Utah Beach, Part 4 - First to Lead - Setting up the Headquarters in Normandy This book retraces in images the epic journey of the 101st Airborne Division during its first combat jump in history, in Normandy. This fourth volume in a ten-part series totaling over 3,000 pages and 4,000 photos is dedicated to the establishment of command posts in the early hours of D-Day around DZ C, Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, and Hiesville. Organized by the location of the 101st Airborne’s battle sites, most of the photos are identified. In itself, this represents information that was previously unavailable. More than thirty years of research and investigation were necessary to identify them. This book is a combination of three collections of period photographs and is undoubtedly the most impressive collection in the world. To create it, Mark Bando , an American historian of the 101st Airborne, along with Emmanuel Allain and Michel De Trez , founders of the D-Day Experience Museum, pooled their knowledge and collections. Mark Bando began collecting testimonies when most of us were not even born. 235 x 295 mm, over 400 illustrations, 296 pages. Bilingual edition: English-French.

Patch, Rangers, D-Day
Shoulder sleeve insignia of the Rangers who climbed the Pointe du Hoc on D-Day. On June 19, 1942 the 1st Ranger Battalion was sanctioned, recruited, and began training in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland. Eighty percent of the original Rangers came from the 34th Infantry Division. A select fifty or so of the first U.S. Rangers were dispersed through the British Commandos for the Dieppe Raid in August 1942; these were the first American soldiers to see ground combat in the European theater. Together with the ensuing 3rd and 4th Ranger Battalions they fought in North Africa and Italy until the Battle of Cisterna when most of the Rangers of the 1st and 3rd Battalions were captured. The remaining Rangers were absorbed into the Canadian-American First Special Service Force under Brigadier General Robert T. Frederick. Before the 5th Ranger Battalion landing on Dog White sector on Omaha Beach, during the Invasion of Normandy, the 2nd Ranger Battalion scaled the 90-foot (27 m) cliffs of Pointe du Hoc.
