Blue British paratrooper badge

This paratrooper pin badge proudly displays the insignia of the British Paratroopers, making it an essential piece for collectors of WWII memorabilia.

Shortly after midnight on 6 June, during the D-Day invasion, over 18,000 men from the US 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, along with the British 6th Airborne Division, were dropped into Normandy. These Allied paratroopers and glider-borne infantry were well trained and highly skilled, yet for many, it marked their first combat experience. Their crucial objectives were to capture key sites behind the beaches and secure the flanks of the assault areas.

Ideal for enthusiasts of British Paratrooper Badges and those honouring veterans with a Veteran Lapel Pin, this badge serves as a poignant reminder of their bravery and the pivotal role they played in WWII.
