Updated draft map of the drop pattern of the 6th Airborne Division on DDay, #Normandy
🔴 1st Can Para (DZ V)
🟡 9th Para (DZ V)
🟠 8th Para (DZ K)
🔵 7th Para (DZ N)
🟣 12th Para (DZ N)
🟢 13th Para (DZ N)

Still not perfect at all, and not accurate.
For the 1st Can Para, the drop patter and location doesn't not match well between Dan Hartigan book and the 6th AB archives.
Also, no info on some of the MIA planes, probably off map.
Any help, comment, criticism is welcome !

1 / #Normandy, DDay. If you are driving around Bernières-sur-Mer, you might find this monument. The history behind it is not widely known, and fewer people even know that photographs exist of what happen.
A thread🧵

On June 6, Juno Beach, Bernières sur Mer. After firing hundred of shells in their run-in toward the beach, the 14th Field Artillery Regiment, RAC, is landing around 9.25am from 8 LCTs, with priority vehicles of the 8th Brigade. A total of 106 vehicules !

The traffic in Bernières is a nightmare. SPGs, Jeeps, Shermans, Halftracks, Universal Carriers, AVREs, are stuck in the small streets of the town. Especially since the exit from Bernières is under fire and that no one can now push inland.
