Theme : US Paratrooper in Normandy

Time : World War II (1944)

Details : Although the picture is a souvenir of Arizona Camp near Carentan during the festivities of June 2016, the scene could have been very well carried out in 1944. This paratrooper of the 101st Airborne Division (326th Airborne Engineer Battalion) is located on one of the many American camps that will be installed in the fields of Normandy in the aftermath of the invasion. While waiting to rally the men of his unit and resume the fight, a moment of meditation following the loss of his friends a few days ago is necessary, in the bottom of a jeep of the 82nd, another American airborne division.
