EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for a team of paratroopers as they await the call to board their gliders and join the assault on the Normandy coast during D-Day on June 6, 1944. The date, 6:30am, marks the beginning of the largest single-day amphibious operation in history, involving nearly 400,000 military and naval personnel. The initial air assault landing of Allied troops had already begun, and these paratroopers, armed with axes, were poised to reinforce the effort in the second phase. The chalk graffiti on the wall behind them reads, "The Channel stopped you, but not us - now it's our turn. You've had your time, you German Swinhunds!" The defiant message reflects the determination and resolve of the Allied forces as they prepared to make their move against the German forces occupying the Normandy coast. The Normandy landings, also known as Operation Neptune and Operation Overlord, were a turning point in World War II. The success of the operation paved the way for the eventual liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who took part in this historic event.
