Im the 82nd Airborne Division! is the most comprehensive
collection of combat narratives, after action reports, documents, maps,
and photographs detailing the saga of one of the most famous units in
the Second World War. These original documents are now published for the
first time since they were created sixty years ago. The Division comes
alive, as individuals and units of the 82nd tell their own stories. Maps

campaigns. Appendices list commander, casualties, and captured
equipment. Special photographic essays show helmet markings and
ephemera. From designation as the U.S. Armys first airborne division
in 1942 through the campaigns in Sicily, Italy, Anzio, Normandy,
Holland, Belgium, and Germany all the way to the occupation of Berlin
and the victory parade in New York, this is the story of the 82nd
Airborne Division The All American in World War II. A great
reference for anyone interested in the 82nd Airborne Division in World
War II and a fitting tribute to those who served in its ranks.
