About the 101st Airborne Division

The 101st Airborne Division was one of the most famous Allied formations of World War II. During the Normandy invasion, the division conducted a night airborne assault deep behind enemy lines on 5–6 June 1944.

Despite being widely scattered after the drop, the paratroopers carried out their objectives, disrupting German defenses and helping to secure the success of Operation Overlord.
