D-Day 75th Anniversary V-neck shirt with HISTORY NERD® and WWII Paratrooper

Save 25% on this discontinued style.

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. This is the same design that is on the crew neck shirt.

Includes a special 3" x 4.75" hang tag 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 about the hangtag here.

This same HISTORY NERD® design with a World War II paratrooper is available as a unisex t-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: A super soft 4.3 ounce t-shirt from Next Level that is 60% cotton / 40% polyester jersey and that has been pre-washed to reduce shrinkage. See size chart

Based on the feedback from buyers, one of whom characterized it as more of a "feminine fit," you might want to order a size larger than you would if you were ordering a standard men's/unisex shirt.

If you have never worn a high-quality poly-cotton shirt before, you’ll want to read this first.

More on the commemorative hang tag: A 3" x 4.75" piece of paper, in color, on uncoated stock. Read more about the hangtag 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.

And 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.
