What was the importance of dday?
D-Day was designed to be the last push on germany. D Day was the first step in taking the war back to Hitlers Europe. At that time the Russians were pressing in the East and were taking most of the casualties in the war. Italy had been invaded by the Allies but a new front was required. Dday was the day on which (at that time) the greatest sea armada ever known was lauched against the Normandy coast. The invasion area was set into five beaches. Despite what Hollywood says it was not a solely US affair. The Americans had two of the areas, the British had two and the Canadians had one.
Where did the 733 Field Artillery Battalion serve?
AnswerAccording to a BBC article I found in Google, the battalion's WW2 service was as follows: It landed in Normandy, on Utah Beach, several days after D-Day and fought across Normandy to St Lo, Chartres, Metz and to the Saar River and finally into Bavaria. I have been unable to trace any subsequent deployment.The US 733 Field Artillery Battalion earned credit for the following WW2 campaigns:Northern FranceRhinelandArdennes-AlsaceCentral EuropeNote: the campaigns do not list Normandy. This indicates that this unit did not serve in combat at Normandy. However, many units entered France through the beaches at Normandy.The 733rd did receive credit for Normandy. It entered France on June 30, 1944 and one of its units was the first American heavy artillery unit to engage the enemy in Normandy.
