This is a tribute to the war photographers. The United States Army Signal Corps (USASC) is a division of the Department of the Army that creates and manages communications and information systems for the command and control of combined arms forces. When the War Department was reorganized on 9 March 1942, the Signal Corps became one of the technical services in the Services of Supply (later Army Service Forces). Its organized components served both the Army Ground Forces and the Army Air Forces. Some images were added who have been colorized but done in a perfect way to preserve the feel of WWII and to bring it more to our time increasing the way we relate to them. --- \*\* = means that this section contains graphic images of war, so parental guidance is required ![Original pictures D-Day Normanyd and beyond documenting WW2 ](https://www.normandy1944.info/images/patches/US-signal-corps-badge.png) Last updated: March 2026: updated with new data and UI improvements.
