What it is about
You are a T-5 parachute that served with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division during World War II, made from beautiful, fine white silk. You fulfilled your mission alongside your paratrooper during the Normandy airborne landings on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Later, your canopy was cut apart, and each piece found its way to a different place along the Western Front. In this game, you will trace the new lives these pieces went on to lead.
