French soldiers hold D-Day re-enactment as 80th anniversary nears
French soldiers participated in a re-enactment of the D-day landings on Omaha Beach, as the world prepares to mark the 80th anniversary of the operation, when more than 150,000 allied troops landed in France to drive out Nazi Germany’s forces in history’s largest amphibious assault
Across Normandy, where beaches and fields still bear the scars of the fighting that erupted on June 6, 1944 and the weeks that followed, preparations were underway for the ceremonies. World leaders from U.S. President Joe Biden to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will attend.
Nearly 100 soldiers from France’s army and navy disembarked on the shores from barges that left from the Mistral helicopter carrier.

Bless them all ❤️
Russia victory day are much better
A Real enactment would have required special pyrotechnics and gallons of red paint and special mannequins in uniform designed to be rapidly disassembled using yet more pyrotechnics… – today's society would not be capable of handling such a display and each would need months of counselling….
Thank God people are better educated today so they don't have to be hoodwinked into risking life & limb for fake jews, a fake royal family & bankers…..
Grazie, per quello che avete fatto,nel 1944 questi giovani anno dato la vita per liberare tutta l'Europa,adesso una cosa sarebbe impensabile.
Really it s not same not same now in that time war is hell
Sad!
They aren't French soldiers…
