So while trying to seed Donner this morning, I got to wondering, "Where on earth am I?" My only clue was that the mini-map says "Campaign in France." I googled Donner, France and there is no such town. So I went around and looked at the 4 clues in the map:

Axis Sniper House

Allies Suze

So we are somewhere 18 km from Carentan, 20 km from Coutances, 11 km from Periers, and 15-17 km from Saint Lo. Interesting fact is that it takes Allies 2 extra km apparently to get to Saint Lo.

So where is this region? It is the Northwest section of France in the province of Normandy.

More specifically, it has to bee somewhere in the following regions:

Around where they all converge is 'where' this lovely setting should be. I have yet to use satellite reconnaissance to find out exact GPS coordinates...
 
WOW Awesome Post!

I really like the history of DOD

Where is Donner?

Right next to Blitzen.


Is this truth or lies?

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
