Around this time, 82 years ago, the 82nd Airborne was recuperating from 33 days of combat in Normandy. The paratroopers had earned every inch with blood and grit—but their mission wasn’t over. 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
