As far as what uniforms were worn on "D"Day, the answer is not complete and there are several errors; First of all, the boots worn by the U.S. Army were brown, not black. They came in three styles, Service boots with leggings, two buckle boots and the Airborne Jump boots. Further, the uniforms were a mixture of the 1941 uniform and the 1943 uniform, the difference being the jacket. The paratroopers had their own unique uniform consisting of a jacket with "Rigger" pouches, some reenforced, some as issued. The paratrooper helmet was unique also as it had a liner connected to the helmet with special webbing so the helmet and liner would not separate during the jump.

∙ 11y agoThere were a variety of uniforms, but the bulk of common soldiers wore the WW2 version of today's BDU. - It was made of rough serge in a khaki colour (like dark tan) and consisted of trousers with cargo pockets and a short, waisted jacket with concealed buttons and epaullettes. The headgear was varied, with most being a khaki beret, but many regiments had their own classic headgear - Tam 'o Shanters for the Scots regiments, red berets for the paras, green for the Commandos, black for the Tank regiments. Each regiment proudly displayed it's own badge on whatever headgear it wore.
