Row straight into gunfire – the 82nd Airborne’s deadliest gamble
In September 1944, American paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne were ordered to cross the Waal River in broad daylight — directly into entrenched German machine gun fire.

It is tradition for the U.S. military units involved in the assault to travel to France to commemorate the lives lost and our shared history with the people of Normandy. Even though the glob

As they trained, they waited for the next call... Just eight weeks later, they would once again jump into enemy territory—this time into Holland, during Operation Market Garden. | The History of the 82nd Airborne in World War II

On June 6, 1944, forever on known as D-Day, the 82nd Airborne Division jumped into history as more than 12,000 All American glider and parachute infantry took part in the Airborne assault over Normandy, France. As they landed among the farmhouses and fields, they quickly realized they were not facing their enemy alone. French Patriots quickly came to their aid, often risking their lives to assist their would-be liberators. Under normal circumstances, the All American Division would be in France
