The
Second World War was characterized by new
types of soldiers. One of the most innovative
and daring of these groups was the Airborne
Soldiers, men who arrived at their objective
by parachuting from airplanes.
Originating between
World Wars I and II, and perfected through
trial by combat, the exploits of Airborne
soldiers from all armies is legendary. The
National World War II Museum will examine
these soldiers, their stories and equipment
through the use of artifacts, photographs
and personal accounts. The exhibit will
examine not only the exploits of American
Airborne soldiers but also the exploits
of their counterparts in Allied and Axis
armies.
