British paratroopers had their passports checked by French customs officers after they parachuted into a D-Day event in Normandy. The documents were assessed by the workers in Sannerville on Wednesday. It happened after 300 paratroopers from the UK, Belgium and the United States parachuted into a drop zone to recreate the airborne liberation of Normandy 80 years ago.
Since the United Kingdom has left the European Union in 2020, border checks in France and the rest of the 27 EU member states, have been tightened for British visitors and residents. Videos of paratroopers’ border checks on a Normandy field quickly went viral on social media with users’ comments falling on the 8-year-old Brexit divide - some still bitter over Britain’s exit from the EU and others mocking the French zest for rules as two staunch allies commemorate the start of the battle that has led to liberation of Europe from Nazis.
