By Phil Nordyke
Archival Summary & Scope
The 82nd Airborne Division began its arduous World War II journey with a daring daylight parachute and glider assault to capture key bridges during Operation Market Garden in September 1944. After weeks of intense combat in Holland, their well-earned rest was abruptly interrupted by the Battle of the Bulge. The "All Americans" continued to face relentless action through the war's conclusion, ultimately joining Allied occupation forces in Berlin following VE Day.Categorization Notes
