Donations accepted to help maintain the site
the 741st landed at Omaha beach on "D-Day" 6 June 1944 ahead
of infantry units for the first time in history. This website is dedicated
to those men who were there, many of whom never made it ashore or off
the beachhead. Information on this site will be gathered from as many sources
as I can find; some from books and and websites that I have run across {acknowledgements
and credits will be given}, actual accounts from when I can get them; photos
from where I can get them with acknowledgements given. I will post reunion information
and anything else I can gather, if you have information for me please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Much of this information so far I owe to Mr. Al Heintzleman
either from his book1
or from the association newsletters. Unfortunately we lost Mr. Heintzelman
in Aprill 2007
If you see photos here or information you believe came from
a website you have please let me know I will give you credit for them and a
link to your site as I have been collecting them where I can find them I do
not remember where I got them all
