Our exclusive HISTORY NERD® design with a World War II paratrooper on the front, and on the back, "Operation Overlord", "75", and the dates June 6, 1944 and June 6, 2019 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Operation Overlord, D-Day, and the invasion of Normandy Beach.

Includes a special 3" x 4.75" card with the "Orders of the Day" that went to the troops that morning on one side and, on the other side, the handwritten message that General Eisenhower drafted the night before in the event that the operation was not successful. Read more here.

This same HISTORY NERD® design with a World War II paratrooper is available as a women's v-neck shirt, crewneck sweatshirt, and a sticker.

A similar design, with the words "D-day June 6, 1944" and a WWII Paratrooper is also available as a magnet as well as a bookmark.

The shirt: We’re offering your choice of fabrics and colors:
  • 100% cotton Made in the USA shirt in Military green — Grown, knitted, dyed, and sewn in the USA. 4.3 oz.  XS - 3XL. See size chart.
  • Our standard 4.3 oz. Poly-Cotton shirt in Light olive that gets rave reviews. Our softest shirt. It's also our thinnest and lightest. It is very high-quality and long-wearing, but it is thin and light. Lots of people love them, which you can see in the reviews, but if you judge t-shirt quality based on weight or thickness, do not get this one. Instead, get the 100% cotton shirt above. XS - 3X. See size chart.

Included with every shirt: A 3" x 4.75" card with the "Orders of the Day" that went to the troops that morning on one side and, on the other side, the handwritten message that General Eisenhower drafted the night before in the event that the operation was not successful. Read more here.

Thanks to Ben Powers for his helpful suggestion about the shirt color—not as dark as the shirt we use for the WWII soldier shirt—and for additional information for the hang tag that helps deliver an even more powerful account of what actually happened.

Thanks to Larisa for getting this all going by pointing out the anniversary last fall and encouraging me to come up with a special design even though, up until then, almost all of our designs were focused on the Revolutionary War.

Thanks to April for the photo of her at Normandy on the 75th and to Tamara for the graduation photo.

Awesome Shirt

What a perfect shirt for our 12 year old autistic son who is a history buff!! He doesn't really like to receive clothes as gifts but was very excited to receive his History Nerd with a WWII soldier! Bonus that it is super soft!

Happy History Nerds!

This was our second purchase from The History List and like the first, we love these shirts! I should’ve sized up on the women’s, but I still love my shirt! David is a second grade teacher and I’m an ER nurse and History is our favorite common bond. Thanks History List for providing us Nerds with fashion expression ;)

D Day Tee ...

Great T ... for a true history nerd.

Perfect color. Love the understated desending trooper.

Great product that gets smiles and the occasional question from those who see it.

Now ... if I could just hear ... "history nerd... bet you're great on dates."

Agree ... that's a bridge too far.

Oh ... is the Market Garden T available?

D_Day shirt

Shirt was well made, very good quality for the price; personally I’d have preferred more color options, but understand the color choice particularly fit that event. I love the different historical events for which things are offered- best totality of choices s of any website I’ve seen and my information isn’t shared(very important to me)

Top Notch!

Purchased 3 different t-shirts. Each was of impeccable quality and truly unique in design. Was pleased to see that they use Next Level Tees (my personal favorite in that they wash & fit well and feel amazing). Will be back for Christmas!

Remember

I love my History Nerd t-shirt with Paratrooper. When I wear it I want others to see it and remember the sacrifices and unforgettable courage of those who served in WWII. It’s a great shirt. It’s a soft cotton that’s easy to clean and is super comfortable.

Excellent purchase

I bought six shirts-they have held up perfectly after washing and all fit as expected (I ordered everyone’s typical size). I was very impressed by the quality but what made me sure to be a returning customer was that the owner had added a handwritten note in my order. How sweet is that?!? I very much appreciated all of the little details (shirts each came with a historically significant bookmark) that were added.
Great quality. Great product. Great personal touches from the owner.
I will definitely be buying more here.
