Exactly 80 years to the day that paratroopers jumped into North Africa during the Second World War, the current generation of airborne soldiers paused training in Morocco to pay their respects.
A Company Group, 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment held a Remembrance service during Exercise Jebel Sahara, which sees the unit training alongside the Moroccan 2e Brigade d’Infanterie Parachutiste to develop their desert warfare skills.
As the paratroopers stood in respectful silence to remember those killed in war, close in their thoughts were the soldiers who helped establish The Parachute Regiments formidable reputation during fighting in North Africa 80 years before.
Operation Torch – the Allied invasion of French North Africa – started with amphibious landings in Morocco, followed by 3rd Parachute Battalion parachuting in to capture Bone airfield in Algeria on 12 November 1942. Across the month, 1st and 2nd Parachute Battalions also jumped in to seize key objectives in Tunisia at Beja and Oudna respectively.
Paratroopers were in the thick of heavy fighting until German and Italian forces surrendered in Tunisia in May 1943, winning eight battle honours for the newly-formed regiment. Paratroopers were nicknamed rote teufeln – red devils – by German troops struck by their ferocity in combat and how the tail strap hanging from their parachute smocks became covered in the regions red earth.
