In 2024, the United Kingdom will mark the 80th anniversary of the Normandy Landings on June 6, 1944, with a series of significant commemorations and events in the UK and in France. The Battle of Normandy with this meticulously crafted metal product, made from laser-cut 2 mild steel, this commemorative piece showcases intricate details and a durable construction.
The Douglas C-47 is the sky train aircraft which approximately 13,000 U.S. paratroopers jumped into Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944, beginning the liberation of France in the last two years of World War II.
Upon arriving in Normandy, France in late 1944, the 761st was assigned to Patton's Third Army. Patton, himself a skeptic of African American tankers in combat, would wind up welcoming the 761st into his Third Army and motivated them with a rousing speech right before they set out to engage German forces. As they fought their way into Germany, the 761st would participate in four major campaigns through six countries, all the while earning several battlefield commendations and honors.
This product is not only visually appealing but also a lasting tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought in this significant event.
