Hey, this was my father's artillery battalion! He was assigned to it at Normandy as an initial replacement, one of the few Southern boys. It was an activated NY National Guard battalion, as this man's accent makes obvious. Oh, yeah ... I understand completely what he is talking about, though I was not a cannoneer. Pity the producers didn't know artillery comes in BATTALIONS, not UNITS. Great preparation, guys. You did your homework well - not. :(
My father, Samuel Strauss was also with the 186th Field Artillery Batallion
