Its 75 anniversary of #Red_Berets
Created by the British army in 1942, the red beret became the international symbol of the airborne troops. Two years earlier, in 1940, Winston Churchill requested 5000 parachutists for the British army after he had witnessed the successes of the German airborne troops that year during their advances through Western Europe. In 1941 the 1 Parachute Brigade was created; this brigade later became part of the new 1st Airborne Division. This division also included a brigade that was transported by gliders. Due to their diverse activities, the status of the red beret grew to become a symbol of determination.
