Airborne In Normandy   FAQs   Links    Homepage     Contact     About    WWII Research

This is a complete list of the Pathfinders in Normandy June 6, 1944.  Over the years many man have claimed to have been a Pathfinder in Normandy.  This list will put that to rest.  If they aren’t on this list, they weren’t a Pathfinder who jumped into Normandy.

There are examples of a stick of Pathfinders and a Manifest front and back.

Update for the 504th Prcht Inf as Pathfinders in Normandy.
