The Story of the 82nd Airborne Division
|
|
The famed 82d Airborne Division is one of the premier airborne fighting units of all time and always in the forefront of battle. Nicknamed the "All American" Division, the 82d has a long and valorous history. This film was developed during the Cold War to describe the history of the 82d from WWI to the Vietnam War. In particular, the segments depicting the training program of the WWII paratroopers, including parachute and glider training and operations, and the description of the 82d's WWII battles are worth watching. The film also shows some fantastic, seldom seen scenes color footage of the 82d's role in the April 1965 Dominican Republic intervention and color footage of the Vietnam War battles of the "All Americans." The 82d's versatile airborne "tank," the M551 Sheridan, is described as well in part II as well as up-front and close footage of the battle of Hue, during the Tet Offensive of 1968. A must see for any AIRBORNE historian or enthusiast. Airborne all the way! COL Antal
