This series is a limited edition of 50 pieces, meaning that each “Piece of History” display keychain is unique. The WWII June 6th, 1944 D-Day U.S. Airborne parachute fragment you receive may vary slightly from the display shown.

This incredibly rare and very historic piece of WWII history is an original U.S. Airborne Division parachute fragment that was recovered from the D-Day Sainte-Mère-Eglise drop zones designated for U.S. paratroopers during Operation Overlord Allied D-Day landings on June 6th, 1944.

When they landed most of the US paratroopers were badly scattered across the area and much of their equipment was lost. This parachute fragment from that has remained lost to history until it was professionally recovered in 1994.

The Americans of the US 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions dropped onto the Cotentin peninsula behind Utah Beach. They blocked a main road at Sainte-Mère-Eglise and secured causeways across the flooded lowlands, helping the US 4th Infantry Division to break out from Utah Beach.

Numbering more than 13,000 men, the paratroopers were flown from bases in southern England to the Cotentin Peninsula in approximately 925 C-47 airplanes. An additional 4,000 men, consisting of glider infantry were to arrive in 500 gliders later on D-Day to reinforce the paratroopers.


This would be an amazing way for your history buff to have a truly one-of-a-kind keychain to add to their backpack or work bag!
