History

Development

The 101st Airborne Division was created as part of the United States’ rapid expansion of airborne forces in WWII. Designed for parachute assault operations, these elite soldiers trained rigorously to master night jumps, demolitions, small-unit tactics, and long-range missions behind enemy lines. Their M42 jump uniforms, reinforced boots, and light-infantry gear made them highly mobile and extremely deadly.

Role

The Screaming Eagles played a decisive role in several major WWII operations. They parachuted into Normandy on D-Day, fought through Carentan, secured vital bridges in Operation Market Garden, and famously held the line during the Siege of Bastogne in the Battle of the Bulge. Their courage, resilience, and tenacity made them one of the most respected units of the war.

Significance

The 101st Airborne became symbolic of American heroism and determination during WWII. Their sacrifices and victories helped shape the outcome of the European theater. This Mil-Blox squad pays tribute to their legacy, bringing historical accuracy and unmatched detail to collectors, builders, and WWII enthusiasts.
