It appeared on the cover as well as in Signal Corps advertising, and was featured as part of an article on the Signal Corps. ?Smallest field unit of the Signal Corps,? a photo caption read, ?it is not much larger or heavier than a conventional handset.? It was carried among the first waves to hit Omaha Beach at Normandy in June, 1944. Every rifle company of the U.S. 29th Infantry division had six; one for each of three rifle platoons, two for the weapons platoon, and one for the company CO. The Germans were deeply impressed by the SCR-536and the SCR-300 after capturing several units in Sicily. By war?s end, 130,000 of the units had been manufactured by Motorola.
