Having blooded themselves during the fighting in Sicily in 1943 and thenfought in arguably their most famous operations during the D-Day landings inJune 1944, the US Airborne divisions were withdrawn from the front lines to restand refit.

Re-equipped with the new green M-1943 uniform which was being used acrossthe US military to standardise supply, the divisions which included the 101st‘Screaming Eagles’ and the 82nd ‘All American’ would be used by AlliedHigh command during Operation Market Garden – an ambitious plan to open acorridor through Holland by parachuting in several US, British and Polishairborne divisions to take key bridges.
