The extraordinary bravery of the men who took part has been highlighted in a series of stunning colourised images to commemorate the 75th anniversary.
Striking shots show American and British troops arriving on French beaches for the invasions, D-Day Invasion glider pilots on landing craft and British Airborne Pathfinders at Harwell checking their watches on the night of June 5, 1944.
Other vivid colour pictures show Nazi General Erwin Rommel inspecting his defences, a German Panzer VI Tiger I Tank camouflaged in the undergrowth in Villers-Bocage, Normandy and men of the British 22nd Independent Parachute Company, 6th Airborne Division being briefed for the invasion.

Unlike the coward Snowflakes now
ReplyDeleteThe trust these brave warriors had in their leadership and deep deep sense of patriotism. Young people today are clueless when it comes to such matters and are so self centered they have lost focus.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting. We should never ever
ReplyDeletelet this be forgotten.
DemocRATs aka SOROS wants that part of history erased.
DeleteThank You Sir for your service
ReplyDelete7:41 is spot on someone else will do it
Didn't serve my country overseas but I did here Stateside.
ReplyDeleteI had a chance to discuss D-day with a man who had survived it. It still affected him in a way that most of us will never understand. Their bravery is beyond comprehension. Crossing a beach and climbing cliffs straight into machine gun fire is something that the rest of us probably could not do. I am glad that we never had to grow up speaking German or Japanese.
ReplyDelete7:41 I am registered dem and served 1 tour in Afg and 1 in Iraq. You want to call out a coward look no further than POTUS and the boo boos on his feet that let daddy get him a deferment.
ReplyDeleteDid you say the same for Clinton Obama ?.
Delete12:27:Thank you for your service. Not sure when you made a choice of the political party, maybe a decade ago? Because today's DEM party leaders certainly don't have the same platform and patriotism. I agree Trump ain't perfect by any means, but absolutely better choice than the alternative - Crooked Hildabeast and Slick Willy Clintons by far.
