by Phil Nordyke This fascinating book chronicles the World War II combat history of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment which engaged in 281 days of frontline combat and made combat jumps at Sicily, Salerno and Holland. The men of the 504th also fought in the rugged mountains of Italy, made a beach landing at Anzio, endured brutal combat in the Belgian Ardennes and carried out assault crossings of the Waal and Rhine Rivers. Units of the regiment were awarded four Presidential Unit Citations for actions during the fighting at Salerno, Anzio, Holland and central Germany. Drawing on personal interviews, oral histories, and unpublished written accounts from more than 300 veterans of the 504th RCT, the author tells the remarkable story of what it was like to be part of the elite group of individuals. |
