where can I find where my uncle served in ww2.I know he went onto Normandy beach on D-Day?

Question

would like to find out what unit he was in also.

Answer 1

If you know what he did, here is a listing of the detachments that took part in the D-Day invasion of Normandy:

U.S. Divisions Active in the Normandy Campaign
6 June-24 July l944

1st Infantry Division 79th Infantry Division
2d Infantry Division 83d Infantry Division
4th Infantry Division 90th Infantry Division
5th Infantry Division 2d Armored Division
8th Infantry Division 3d Armored Division
9th Infantry Division 4th Armored Division
28th Infantry Division 6th Armored Division
29th Infantry Division 82d Airborne Division
30th Infantry Division 101st Airborne Division
35th Infantry Division

I think you can look up members by division if you google them - but that's going to take some time. At least I could narrow it down for you by which divisions were there!

Good luck!
