#bring back

On 6 June 1944 156,000 troops from the United States, Great Britain, and Canada landed on five beaches and the surrounding areas. 15,500 of those troops were Airborne Paratroopers. Airborne troops were issued rifles like the M1 Carbine you see here. This one is made by the Inland Division of General Motors, produced sometime between May of 1942 and September of 1943. It was acquired from an aforementioned veteran who served during WWII. -R
