I should probably ask Moose about this since he is on top of the WWII uniforms and gear, but Id be grateful to anyone who knows the answer . My question is about the Oilcloth American flag armbands worn by American GI's and Airborne during the invasion of France in 1944. Were they issued to ALL soldiers that took part in the invasion, and if so.. which units were issued the armband (shown below)and which were issued the sew-on flag patches? I'm sure one of you knows the answer and I thank you in advance!
