One year and one day before D-Day, the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment conducted a massive training jump at Oujda Airport, Morocco. This exercise was a crucial step in preparing them for the airborne assault on Sicily just weeks later. The 505th would go on to see action in Sicily, Italy, Normandy, Holland, the Ardennes, and Germany. All the way! #Airborne #505PIR #82ndairborne | The History of the 82nd Airborne in World War II
