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 currently documents American soldiers of the 1st and 29th Infantry Divisions who fell at Omaha Beach during the Normandy landings of June 1944, with unit movements traced day by day from the original after-action reports. The database is actively growing — toward the rest of Normandy, and eventually a far broader record of the Second World War.
Every entry links back to the original record — the actual Morning Report page, cited and viewable.
Where a wound's outcome isn't resolved in the Morning Reports, burial records help confirm what happened — nothing is ever guessed.
Every soldier placed by unit, sector, and date — browsable, filterable, and shown on an interactive map.
Every soldier's profile, every story, and the record that proves it — searchable and free, permanently. That is not a promotional offer. It is the point of the project.
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 exactly that: the same rigor, open to anyone who wants to find a name and see the record behind it.
