Re: 101st A/B -- Which unit sported war paint in Normandy?

I wouldn't know about war paint in particular, but I can see them at least griming up their faces to reduce the reflection of light against their faces. And for that exact reason they'd wear helmet nets, pieces of foilage or burlap, or the more field expedient rubbing mud on the helmet and letting it dry, takes the sheen right out of it.
