On June 6, 1944, approximately 156,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified coastline, to fight against Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy. Barbed wire was seen throughout the coastlines. The wire included in this display stands as a memorial to those who fought in the defense of freedom and represents the struggles and obstacles they overcame. It was found on a farm in Normandy, France, and is original German barbed wire from the D-Day invasion. Only one piece of barbed wire is included within the acrylic display. The other pieces of barbed wire in the photos are not included with this product.

I can not express how blown away I am with the quality and look of the D-Day barbed wire pieces. They make perfect gifts for an history lover. I have actually ordered multiple times because I keep thinking of people who would love them as gifts. each one is unique and beautifully crafted.
Absolutely stunning piece of history in flawless lucite. Couldn’t be happier. Going to get a hinged display box to put it in to keep it from getting scratched
The wife loved it! Her grandfather stormed the beaches and we didn’t get the chance to visit while we were there but I thought why not bring a piece of it to her. Thank you for making these.
My father was Company C, First Battalion, 16th Regiment, 1st Infantry Division (Big Red 1). Landed on Omaha Beach Easy Red sector at 0740. This barbed wire is very special to me, thank you so much!
My 11 year-old grandson who is in sixth grade is currently obsessed with specifically Normandy and D-Day. And all he wants for his birthday and the holidays are artifacts. They are currently in my closet ready to be wrapped to give him in a few weeks. I know he will be ecstatic when he sees how beautifully presented the parachute and barbed wire are and he will display them in a space in his room he has already made available. Ordering was easy and delivery was right on time as expected. Once he gets these I know he will be on your website looking for more and I will be more than happy to get it for him. Thank you for curating and making these items available to history lovers - especially 11 year olds!!!

Thank you so much for your support!
We have it displayed with sand from Omaha Beach, a Nazi coin and one of your parachute pieces. The display is next to an original June 6, 1944 Shreveport Journal front page.
Love the pieces.

We are honored to have some of our pieces in your collection. Thank you!
I bought this for my husband's birthday. He is a WW2 enthusiast and love everything related to it. This really blew his socks off when he opened it. Loved that it came with the certificate of authenticity and the story of the origin of the artifact. Will definitely purchase other artifacts in the future.

Brooke,
Thank you for your kind review! We really appreciate everything you said and for sharing your experience!
I was delighted to come across this piece. Shipping was super fast and the piece is awesome. I am displaying on a bookshelf and think I might need to order a few more as gifts.
It was bought for my son-in-law for a Christmas gift. He has not received it yet, but I am sure he is going to love it. I was very pleased at how it was presented.
Can’t say enough about this company. My order was lost because of an ups error and they were quick to react and get it replaced. Also, the acrylic work I’ve ever seen. I feel honored to have the piece of history so amazing!
