  • These men were first class soldiers. A-1 elite men of the US Army and they need more respect and attention from history. Just because nobody featured their unit in a Spielberg movie nobody seems to know about them. Lets give the "Battling Buzzards" and the other less-well-known Airborne units of WW2 some well deserved attention! These men of the 517 fought in Italy, Southern France, Belgium (during the Bulge), and in Germany and were at sea on their way to jump into Japan when the war ended!

  • My Uncle (Dervyn Muth) was part of the 517th and died in the battle of the Bulge. There is a great book about them called "Battling Buzzards" by Gerald Astor. Thanks for the post!
