[edit] Eisenhower with Paratroopers

General Eisenhower speaks with paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division just prior to the invasion of France

version 2

A legendary World War II photograph: General Dwight D. Eisenhower gives the order of the Day. 'Full victory-nothing else' to paratroopers in England, just before they board their airplanes to participate in the first assault in the invasion of the continent of Europe. Version 1 is from the commons, which meets all preexisting size requirements, and version two is the one we currently have here on Wikipedia. Ours is somewhat clearer, but does not meet size requirements, I have posted them here togather so they could be compared for the FPC process. The image appears on Battle of Normandy and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
