A friend just sent me a link to a site loaded with photos from the Normandy campaign. there are around 2,300 photos, and it seems that most if not all are captioned. I found that using the advanced search function of Google, I was able to quickly search the site for particular subjects.
Here is an example photo:
To really get the most out of the site, you really need to view the pictures AND the captions associated with them, like this one:
http://www.stolly.org.uk/ETO/napoleonbe ... plies.html
Try using the Google search string "gmc site:http://www.stolly.org.uk/ETO/". Try substituting other words for "gmc". You'll be surprised what you can find!

Re: An Awesome Normandy photo site, inlcuding trucks!!
Thanks for posting the site info. Great pictures.
Found this pic of a CCKW towing a Weasel in a G221 Trailer along a Mulberry "Whale". I guess it would be OK for me to mimic thisa. Note the wood body and the 4 fuel cans mounted on a engineered bracket above the Left front Fender
