General Dwight D. Eisenhower addresses paratroopers of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, at a marshalling camp in England on the evening of June 5, 1944. The soldier wearing placard number '23' is identified in historical records as 1st Lieutenant Wallace C. Strobel, whose exchange with Eisenhower that night became one of the most reproduced images of World War II. Hours after this photograph was taken, these men boarded C-47 transport aircraft for the night parachute assault into Normandy that opened the D-Day invasion. Project: 218668
