Description: D-Day Normandy Invasion arm flags Various types of these ‘invasion’ arm flags were worn by paratroopers in the course of the war. They were worn specifically by paratroopers to identify them as American forces because paratroopers would be dropped behind enemy lines and risked to be mistaken for Axis soldiers by the main US assault forces approaching them over land. Flag patches continue to be worn by US forces of all branches of service today. The second type of arm flag was larger and printed on stronger shirt-weight cotton with a hemmed edge. Purchased from the family of a WW2 veteran by myself. Excellent condition.
