Jim “Pee Wee” Martin landed safety in a field, only to downplay the amazing feat, saying, “It didn’t [compare] because there wasn’t anybody shooting at me today.”

On June 5, 1944 — one day before the D-Day invasion — Martin parachuted onto enemy-controlled Utah Beach in the dark of night with no idea what to expect.

In honor of that fateful day, he suited up and hurled himself from a military airplane on Thursday, CNN reported.

“I just want to show all the people that you don’t have to sit and die just because you get old. Keep doing things,” he said.

Martin, who served in the US 101st Airborne Division, fought for 43 days in France before moving to Holland in 1944, he said.

He also fended off Nazis during the bloody Battle of the Bulge.

“Everybody (was) scared all the time, and if they tell you anything differently, they are full of crap,” said Martin.

“But you just do what you had to do regardless of it. That’s the difference,” Martin said.

He added, “I don’t ever have flashbacks. Never. Nothing ever bothered me.”

Nearly 160,000 Allied troops stormed five beaches in northern France on June 6, 1944, to hasten the downfall of Nazi Germany.

D-Day was the biggest sea-based military invasion in history.

In New York, a French group will shower the Statue of Liberty with 1 million red rose petals on Friday in honor of the 70th anniversary of D-Day.

In Normandy, US President Barack Obama met with French President François Hollande for a ceremony at the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, where 9,387 US soldiers are buried.
