Question

Read the letter. Dear Mom and Dad, Last night, I took part in a battle that just might change the war for us. Right before midnight, planes began taking off, delivering supplies and soldiers to our destination. As a paratrooper I was being sent to help capture key locations from the enemy. Since it was dark and the weather wasn't the greatest, my pilot dropped me a mile away from my target in Normandy. I had to mix in with an unfamiliar unit, but we were still able to complete our mission successfully. I don't think the enemies even saw us coming! A letter like this likely would have been written by a U.S. soldier in what war? Korean War Vietnam War World War II

Answer 1

Answer 2

Second World War

Step-by-step explanation:

The author of the text says that "... my pilot dropped me a mile away from my target in Normandy." Because of this, we can see that he was referring to the Battle of Normandy that took place during World War II.

The Battle of Normandy, codenamed Operation Overlord, was the invasion of United States, United Kingdom, Free France, and allied forces in German-occupied France in World War II in 1944. It was a political decision to maintain freedom in Europe, which occurred after the German defeat for the Red Army in the famous Battle of Stalingrad. Seventy years later, the Normandy invasion remains the largest maritime invasion in history, with nearly three million soldiers crossing the Channel from several ports and airfields in England to Normandy, France occupied.
