The men of the 1st & 29th Infantry Divisions are specifically trained; organised and equipped for the Normandy invasion. With mortars; bazookas; flame-throwers and explosives; these men are ready to tackle any threat.

Careful study of the defences along the coast showed them there were weaknesses inherent in its structure; and; if the men had the right equipment and training; exploiting those weaknesses was possible. Any invading force would have to overcome wire; minefields; and bunkers if it was to be successful. Thus the planners set about to create the perfect mix of men; equipment and training.
