I think it's actually more realistic to have them in Normandy and Eastern Front. Many people think of them as early war weapons, but most were produced in 1943 and they were still in production in 1944. The 352nd Infanterie (St Lo, PeB, Omaha if it comes to that) reports no G43s, but G41s for June 1944 in their arsenal. I actually know more pics of G41s in Normandy than off G43s.
