Military T-Shirt Sales! Cotton T-Shirts, Sizes Small - 3XL
This commemorative shirt design is based on the Allied Invasion Star
which appeared on most military vehicles that landed during the Invasion of
Normandy. The D-Day invasion took place on a 45 mile (72 Kilometer) front. The ‘Star’
enabled air and ground troops to best recognize if the vehicle was a friend or foe
from a distance.
Using stencils to paint these stars resulted in
so-called “lazy stars or lazy circles,” because of the gaps created in the
circle from the stencil. Despite regulations prescribing the appropriate size
of stars for specific vehicles, the stars on the top of vehicles were often
made as large as possible, with the hope that they would be visible to Allied
aircraft and would help prevent friendly fire incidents.
The Germans used the Balkankreuz which is a straight-armed cross that was first introduced in 1916–1918
and later became the emblem of the Wehrmacht (German Armed Forces) and its
branches from 1935 until the end of World War II.
We liked the way the Allied invasion star broke into five sections, perfect to fit the five, D-Day beaches of Normandy.
