Part 4 of the "Normandy 1944" Series
Before Omaha Beach, before Pegasus Bridge, before the airborne assaults, there were the Pathfinders. On D-Day, these men were charged with dropping in ahead of the main assault force and setting up beacons to guide the rest of the paratroopers into their drop zones for the Normandy invasion. Thousands of Allied soldiers would step foot on French soil that day, but the first was a cigar chomping paratrooper by the name of Frank Lillyman.
