Description
UK Southern/Eastern England -- 06 Jun 1944 -- General Dwight D Eisenhower gives the order of the day on D-Day. "Full victory-nothing else" to American paratroopers in England, just before they board their airplanes to participate in the first assault in the invasion of the continent of Europe. Gen Eisenhower thought these troops would suffer high casualties, though in the end, these American Airborne paratroopers ( probably from the 82nd or 101st Airborne ) defeated the German forces defending France and later went on to liberate France and Germany as well -- Picture by Moore | Lightroom Photos | US Army
