Brilliant, Jordan!
Here’s an official press photo released shortly before Herbie “stubbed his toe on the Normandy beach”:
“First View of "Liberation Star" Insignia For D-Day Invasion | May 1944 Dated | Official Signal Corps News Period Photograph.
This photo shows the white star, designated as the identification marking of the liberation forces to be deployed to the ETO at Normandy. The star was used on all Allied ground forces during the rest of WWII. Note the truck is Canadian. The location is England, just before the invasion. The unit marking is censored for deletion, indicating the truck was assigned to the Canadian Postal Corps.”
