Hi! Nice Collection! But you need some more stuff for a real Normandy Impression Assault Gas Mask Bag M5 Life Belt Gas Brassard Waterproof Cover for the Garand M1 (ok, it´s a detail, but I like details) T-Shovel (I think, it´s better for Normandy) Bajonett for the Garand (Do you have it? I didn´t see it) I thinks, that´s all.

The soldiers were afraid, that the Germans could use Gas against them. And so they didn´t "threw" the mask away.
There are somewehere pictures, where you can see GIs carry their mask. These pictures are from July/August 44, I think. When I find they, I will post they here.
