I've posted this before, but my grandfather participated in the Normandy invasion. Below is his battle map from Utah Beach that he gave to me before his passing. From what I understand, it is one of only a handful original Normandy invasion maps in existence, since most were destroyed after the initial assault to prevent the day's plans from being discovered.



Also, below are three short, but interesting, pages out of his journal.
