| Item Description: | Route from Omaha Beach across France and Belgium to Berlin, Germany.
A bold red line illustrates the battalion's route, with red flags marking the location of battalion command posts. Typewritten notes highlight events and dates, from the battalion's arrival at Omaha Beach on June 23, 1944, to V-E Day (May 9, 1945), noting that it was 'relieved of AA mission.' Other captions note tallies of downed aircraft, dates when the battalion crossed the Rhine River, and other milestones in their fight across Europe. Yellow on both sides of the red line highlights territory 'furnished AA protection' by the battalion's antiaircraft guns. |
