Put a small-mesh camouflage net on that helmet and an 82nd Airborne Division patch on his left shoulder, and it'll be perfect!

101st Airborne paratroopers didn't wear arm flags to any significant degree at Normandy, and the vast majority of 82nd guys had very small, tight-mesh nets on their helmets.

One more nit-pick: the chin cup looks black in the photo -- they were a medium to dark brown. 

 

Ditto Looks pretty good but just to add a couple of things....The chin strap is OD not black. Don't know if it's the lighting but the jump boots and .45 auto holster should be a russet brown which has a reddish tint to it. The M3 Fighting Knife sheath is also the wrong color. It is OD.
