D-Day saw the largest use of airborne troops up
to that time. The Paratroopers were assigned the most difficult task of a night
jump behind enemy lines at D-Day - Six hours, their mission was to soften up the German troops and to secure needed
targets, the paratroopers knew that if the accompanying assault by sea failed —
there would be no rescue.
The design recognizes the D-Day landing beaches of, Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, Juno Beach, Sword Beach and Gold Beach. Paratroopers carried an average of 70 pounds of equipment. Officers averaged 90 pounds of gear. With the parachute, men weighed in at 90 to 120 pounds over their body weight.
Most paratroopers carried the standard M-1 Garand rifle. For the airdrop, paratroopers carried their disassembled in special quilted cloth containers called Griswold bags. Unfortunately, this practice left the paratrooper vulnerable and some chose to carry their weapons assembled and readily available.
Could you even imagine being parachuted in the dark behind enemy lines six hours before the coastal invasion Of D-Day and the Battle Of Normandy began?
