Le 5 juin 1944, peu avant minuit, Raymond Anderson, \u00e2g\u00e9 de dix-neuf ans, d\u00e9barqua en France.

Malgr\u00e9 les efforts pr\u00e9paratoires d’Anderson, le parachutage de suivi ne s’est pas d\u00e9roul\u00e9 comme pr\u00e9vu. Aux toutes premi\u00e8res heures du 6 juin, la force principale de trente-six avions C-47 Dakotas charg\u00e9es de parachutistes s’approcha de la zone de largage (DZ) d\u00e9sign\u00e9e. Malheureusement, les Dakotas se heurtent aux tirs antia\u00e9riens allemands et sont contraints de d\u00e9vier de leur trajectoire. Leurs d\u00e9tours, combin\u00e9s \u00e0 une mauvaise visibilit\u00e9, ont eu pour cons\u00e9quence que les parachutistes qui avaient r\u00e9ussi le largage se sont retrouv\u00e9s dispers\u00e9s dans une zone beaucoup plus vaste que pr\u00e9vu, certains d’entre eux se trouvant \u00e0 des kilom\u00e8tres de Raymond Anderson et de la DZ \u00e9tablie par lui et son \u00e9quipe plus t\u00f4t dans la nuit. Quatre-vingt-deux parachutistes du parachutage principal ont \u00e9t\u00e9 captur\u00e9s par les forces allemandes avant d’atteindre la DZ, tandis que certains de ceux qui ont atterri dans des marais inond\u00e9s ont \u00e9t\u00e9 noy\u00e9s par le poids de leur \u00e9quipement (notez les postures sur la photo principale).<\/span><\/p>\n En raison de ces difficult\u00e9s, seul un tiers du bataillon atteignit son point de rendez-vous. Une fois sur place, les parachutistes se rendent compte que la majeure partie de leur \u00e9quipement, y compris leur armement lourd et leurs explosifs, a \u00e9t\u00e9 perdue au cours de la mission. N\u00e9anmoins, les parachutistes ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 capturer tous leurs objectifs et \u00e0 emp\u00eacher les renforts allemands d’atteindre les plages, contribuant ainsi \u00e0 la victoire spectaculaire des Alli\u00e9s.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00ab Andy a surv\u00e9cu \u00e0 la Seconde Guerre mondiale, a servi en Cor\u00e9e, a v\u00e9cu une vie longue et fructueuse en tant qu’employ\u00e9 de la province du Manitoba et est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 en 2016.

During the very early hours of June 6<\/span>th<\/span> the main force of thirty-six, paratrooper-laden, C-47 Dakota aircrafts approached the designated Drop Zone (DZ). Unfortunately, the Dakotas encountered German anti-aircraft gunfire, and they were forced to veer off course. Their detours, in combination with poor visibility, resulted in a situation in which the paratroopers who successfully made the drop found themselves scattered across an area much larger than expected, some of them kilometers away from Raymond Anderson and the DZ that was established by him and his team earlier that night. Eighty-two paratroopers from the main drop were captured by German forces before making it to the DZ while some of those who landed in flooded marshland were drowned by the weight of their equipment (note the postures in image 1).<\/span><\/p> Due to these difficulties only a third of the battalion reached their rendezvous points. Once there, the paratroopers realized that most of their equipment, including their heavy weaponry and explosives, had been lost during the mission. Nonetheless, the paratroopers managed to capture all their objectives and successfully prevented German reinforcements from reaching the beaches and thereby contributed to the Allies\u2019 dramatic victory.<\/span><\/p> \u201cAndy\u201d survived the Second World War, went on the serve in Korea, lived a long and fruitful life as an employee of the Province of Manitoba, and passed in 2016.
