These letters are uncommonly rare because they were issued after the paratroopers had put on all their parachutes and thus did not have access to their pockets or other places to store them, leading to many of them being discarded in the plane. However some letters were stuffed into their shirts or inside their helmets and became treasured souvenirs to their owners. Only a few original letters can be seen on display in museums around the world but one can be found in The Gettysburg Museum in Pennsylvania along side an original "Ike" D-Day Letter.
This is not a simple copy on bleach white printer paper. This letter is printed on specialty all natural fiber base, 20LB paper stock with no watermark. Same size as the original message. The color is a handsome off-white shade to match originals.
Letters will be shipped via a standard USPS letter envelope and should be received within 5 days of the letter being shipped.
