Open Research DashboardTraced to the record, not retold from it
The Accounted is built directly from Morning Reports, After-Action Reports, Graves Registration burial records, and other holdings of the U.S. National Archives, not secondhand accounts and not guesswork. It documents American soldiers across multiple infantry and airborne divisions who fought through Normandy and beyond, with unit movements and morning reports traced day by day, unit by unit. The database is actively growing.
Access to a name shouldn't cost anything
Every soldier's profile, every story, and the record that proves it are searchable and free. Genealogy platforms have done real work digitizing military records, and placed most of it behind a paywall. The Accounted exists as the free alternative for the core of what matters: finding a name and seeing the record behind it, open to anyone.
