The 82nd Airborne Division boasted some of the most prestigious soldiers in the American army. The history of this glorious division was forged by thousands of anonymous paratroopers who earned their stripes on the battlefields of Saint-Mihiel, Gela, Salerno, La Fière, Groesbeek, and the Ardennes. Their participation in the Battle of Normandy undoubtedly represents one of the greatest feats of arms of the Second World War.
