Paratroopers land in France to mark 75th anniversary of D-Day
Paratroopers have landed in France to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. The landings, which took place on June 6, 1944, were a turning point in the Second World War and led to the liberation of France from Nazi occupation.
The paratroopers, who are from the British Army's 16 Air Assault Brigade, landed in Normandy on Tuesday morning. They were joined by veterans of the D-Day landings, as well as world leaders, to mark the anniversary of the historic event.
The D-Day landings were one of the most ambitious military operations in history. Over 150,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy in a bid to liberate France from Nazi occupation. The operation was a success, and the Allies went on to liberate France and the rest of Western Europe from German control.
The 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings is a time to remember the sacrifices made by those who fought in the war. It is also a time to celebrate the victory of the Allies and the liberation of Europe from Nazi tyranny.
