Product Details:

General Dwight D. Eisenhower Addresses American Paratroopers Prior to D-Day is one of the most iconic photographs of World War II, taken on the eve of the Normandy landings in June 1944. The image shows Supreme Allied Commander General Eisenhower speaking with men of the 101st Airborne Division at Greenham Common Airfield, England, just hours before they would parachute into Nazi-occupied France as part of the D-Day invasion. Eisenhower, with a relaxed but serious demeanor, is seen addressing the paratroopers—many wearing full combat gear, helmets netted with camouflage, and blackened faces for the night operation. The photograph captures both the gravity of the moment and Eisenhower’s leadership style: informal, approachable, and reassuring in the face of immense risk.
