#WildBillGuarnere #DDay landed in St Mere Eglise near same church John Steele who was caught on the Steeple with his parachute. Lost his weapon on jump.Found a Thompson machine gun and German MG42.When shooting MG42 it had distinct sound that Americans began to shoot at him.
On D Day, US Paratroopers Landed In Normandy—Some Hid After Landing....... Not Because They Were Cowards, But Because They Were Ordered Not To Engage With The Enemy Until They Got To Their Objective. They Were Scattered All Off Course In The Normandy Countryside.

The #VictoriaCross Medal is the highest award in the British Commonwealth Award System. Origins of the medal are believed to come from the metal from Russian cannons recovered during the Crimean War.
One #VictoriaCross was awarded on#DDay. Sgt Major Stanley Hollis landed on #GoldBeach investigated 2 German Pillboxes. Taking5 prisoners in 1st &stormed 2nd pillbox & captured 26 German prisoners. Later 2 of his men he led were trapped, returned alone taking fire & both escaped
Paratroopers preparing for D Day used ash from burnt charcoal and lamp black to camouflage their faces from the enemy. Painting ones face was o way mentally preparing for what lies ahead and the unknown dangers of Normandy that awaited them.
Men from the 9th Battalion that jumped into Normandy in June 6th 1944, disappeared in the low land land, flooded by #FieldMarshallRommel killing almost 600 elite paratroopers.
Brigadier #JamesHill was the commander of 3rd Parachute Brigade-part of 6th Airborne Div. Trained his mean at #CampBulford. Wanted to get best of his men. Fitness was key,would lead his men on 25km marches, always in front leading his men. Leading by example. Nicknamed “Speedy”
#6thAirborneDivision #WW2 training camps were Hardick Hall for Ground Training.2 weeks Physical&Mental training, then the Ringway Airport near Manchester . Each Paratrooper had to jump twice from a balloon& six from a plane. After had right to wear maroon beret& #Pegasus Badge.

In #Normandy Region- many of the communities such as Ste Croix-sur-Mer, Graye sur-Mer, St Aubin-sur-Mer, Courseulles-sur-Mer, Berniéres-sur-Mer, Langrune-sur-Mer were all along the shores of the English Channel. Sur-Mer translated to English means On The Sea.
The Combat Medic are one of the many unsung heroes throughout all conflicts, least of all the Second World War.Medics would live with the front line Infantrymen, living in foxholes alongside their friends and comrades, enduring horrible weather and combat situations
#101Airborne #USParatroopers #RobertWright & #KennethMoore who jumped in #Normandy on #DDay. Both #Medics provided medical aide to both US&German Soldiers at #AngovilleAuPlainChurch. Saving over 80 soldiers lives. Can still see blood stains on the pews. youtu.be/UL5O2fPHUVc

#82ndAirborne #JohnSteele jumped into #StMarieDeEglise on #DDay. Private Steele’s parachute got hung up onto the church steeple&exposed to the enemy. Private Steele was shot in the foot. 2 hours&unable to free self, was freed by German Soldiers.Taken prisoner.3days later escaped
Water temperatures on #DDay was estimated between 45*F-55*F or 7*C-12*C as soldiers stormed #UtahBeach #OmahaBeach #GoldBeach #JunoBeach and #SwordBeach.
Sgt Cullin developed #HedgeRowCutter Welding the hedge hog steel off the obstacles on the beach&placed onto the front of the tank,allowing the tank cut through HedgeRows that provided covered for the Enemy.If tanks went through the hedgerows, it would expose the thin underside.

Alina Habba is an OUTSTANDING Lawyer She is a MAGA Patriot protecting Donald Trump from the CORRUPT Justice System DO YOU AGREE ?
🚨BREAKING: Biden's Border Agents Announce They Will Refuse Orders to Arrest Texas National Guard Members What's your reaction?
Proud to announce my endorsement of @KariLake for Senate. She’s an outsider. She’s America-First. She’s all-in for sealing the border. She knows how to *eviscerate* the media. She’s unafraid. And she’s going to be a dominant U.S. Senator.🇺🇸
DO NOT Disrespect my President Donald Trump is going to WIN Iowa in a LANDSLIDE DO YOU AGREE ?
Happy 4th birthday, U.S. Space Force! Guardians, thank you for all you do to protect our country. Space Force veterans receive free admission to the National D-Day Memorial today (admission is always free for active-duty service members).

I sat in silence for almost 30 years while people made fun of my partner’s hair. So it’s not how I would’ve handled it, but I understand
Mike Wilner: Tom Cheek’s impact on the Blue Jays will always resonate thestar.com/sports/bluejay…
Agreed
Let’s say it again... Studying history will sometimes disturb you. Studying history will sometimes upset you. Studying history will sometimes make you furious. If studying history always makes you feel proud and happy, you probably aren’t studying history.
What an honour. Holding the 9th Parachute Battalion flag that was nailed to a tree at the Chateau St Come by the Padre, John Gwinnett, to rally the battalion when the fighting was on a knife’s edge. Soon to be displayed at the Airborne Forces Museum, Duxford.
Winston Churchill personally led 38 raids across no-mans land with the #RoyalScotsFusiliers during WWI.
