Event Details
Battlefield historian Robert Mueller celebrates the men of the US 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions who, in the early hours of 6 June 1944, performed the most hazardous of military operations — the dropping of paratroopers into enemy territory, at night. Discover why Normandy was the invasion site, and the critical role played by American Airborne forces in the successful outcome. Learn about individual paratroopers, who, against extreme odds, denied occupying forces the ability to counterattack. Register. Meeting Room.
