On 5 June 1944, 6th Airborne Division was getting ready to jump into Normandy to spearhead the liberation of Europe. To mark last year's 70th anniversary of D-Day, soldiers from 16 Air Assault Brigade took part in a commemorative jump onto a DZ near Ranville that was used on D-Day. This video shows a paratrooper's perspective on 5 June 2014 - very different to that of his predecessors 70 years before, who jumped at night and under enemy fire.
