Hi y'all, wade. I'm trying to put together a Normandy Pathfinder Impression (101st ABN). Is there any specific gear a pathfinder would wear differently from another Airborne soldier ( besides the little "R" on their helmet)? Secondly, since weapons were pretty mixed up on D-Day, would it be OK to carry a Garand? Were Pathfinders issued Garands? I need to know as soon as possible. Thanks All.

Research is the name of the game! Google is your friend! It's very simple too! Books are great as well, chock full of info they are. www.101airborneww2.com/ Mark Bando's website has some good info on it. www.spearhead1944.com/amerpg/amer101.htm TO&E's(Table of Organization and Equipment) are always helpful too! Oh and Band of Brothers is NOT acceptable reference material.
