Any mistakes or wrong supposition is mine, but I wish to give due credit to Historian Richard C. Anderson for his assistance, including his book 'Cracking Hitlers Wall', and the Websites Tanknet and www.ww2.dk.
The basic intent of this is to try and correlate historical reports of the position of flak units up to 6th of June in Normandy, and try and create historical TOE of equipment for each battery. This has only been partially successful, since we lack many captured guns the Germans operated (Including French 75mm, and British 3.7 and 40mm Bofors), and because many of the details are incredibly vague as to where flak units where (many of the documents were destroyed at the end of the war by allied bombing I believe).
The other problem is that there is so many units, that if you use this as is, you will undoubtedly get slow downs. My best advice is to use the template first, lay out a mission and delete ALL the units that are not within possible range of your mission. Or if you want to use it for multiplayer, consider thining the units out.<br /><br /><br />
If there is interest, ill consider doing a 'lite' version, with all vehicles other than the firing units to cut down on units, but I still think inevitably with the amount of units there may be issues.
That said, its broadly realistic as to placement, with some supposition on my part of what various units in an area would be guarding. There are also some units placed including Jagdpanzers and the broad location of 21st Panzer Division on the 21st.
