Next one is somewhere in Berlin. Not sure if this is already in a map and I just never went to that location or it’s actually a different map in the works
The design of buildings and foliage suggests a warm desert climate.
For example the buildings are flat roofed, which wouldn’t be a good design for the rains in Northern France, but would be perfectly suitable for the deserts of Tunisia.
The United Kingdom and its Colonial Empire received Garands through the Lend-Lease scheme too, so I wouldn’t read too much into the weapon.
but they were probably just using the model of the US soldier with the garand to show the map
if you notice he has yellow engineer gloves like the American engineers in the game
The UK receieved 38,001 Garands early on - before the US was in the war. Once the war with Japan started hte decision was made to keep all 30-06 chmbered firearms for US forces, so those 38,001 are the only ones every acrtually sent to the UK.
None were sent to any of the Dominion or colonial forces.
In Tunisa US forces used Garands, and at elast 1 of hte early landing British units did too -= along with wearing US helmets, it being thought looking like Americans might get them a less hostile welcome - sinced ti was not so long ago the Royal Navy had attacked French units in Africa!!
British units occasionally used Garands in Europe, but as far as I can tell they were sourced from local US stocks. The Lend Lease ones were apparenly used by RAF airfierl;d guard units, and there are some photos around of a couple of Commando’s training with them.
Also one US unit had to be taught how to use them by the British!! US 29th Ranger Battalion was made up of part trained National Guard soldiers, and did its Ranger training in Scotland - including weapon training on Garands - there’s a photo of a British officer apparently instructing US trroops on a range.
That was only the units deployed during Operation Torch, along the Algerian and Moroccan coastline, hopefully Tunisia will focus of the 8th army and its push up from Libya and Egypt.
Canada did use them, but not in any significant numbers, there’s also sketchy reports of Indian troops using them when the 6RTR re-equipped with Honey’s in Egypt.
Regarding the DLSS technology in Enlisted, these recordings can be put between cartoons, because each, regardless of DLSS setting, is always the same fps.
But to the topic of the thread, it’s good perceptiveness from you
About the guy being an US soldier or not in the 1st pic: if it’s Tunisia they probably just took a model from Normandy because they don’t have any other model ready yet.
No need to go into deep research to find who/when/why used a garand and yellow gloves in Africa ^^
Those are not lend lease tho - a I said various UK and Dominion forces got them from various sources rather than ever being “issue” - eg this is an Australian soldier in Papua New Guinea - taken during combat apparently, not staged, Buna 28 Dec 1942
