What weapons did a soldier carry in World War 2?
That depended on which army they were in. The infantrymen of Britain and Canada mostly carried the Lee-Enfield 0.303 rifle. The American Army mostly carried the the M1903 Springfield 30.06 or the M1 Garand Carbine. The Germans usually carried the Mauser Karabiner 98K. -Other troops of all armies carried more 'role specific' weapons such as sub-machine guns, light machine guns and pistols.This is a huge subject, you will benefit from a visit to the library or just to Google " WW2 weapons".That depended on which army they were in.

Did US paratroopers play a significant role in the victory of World War 2?
Yes paratroopers did play a significant role in the victory of WW2, because without the paratroopers landing at Normandy and defeating the Nazi's practically from the inside out there would have never been a chance for the British troops to take out the retreating Nazi troops. Michael,I think that you will find that U.S. paratroopers were dropped inland from U.S.beach landings, and British and Canadian Para's were dropped inland from their beach troops so that the U.S. para's did not have any influence on the enemy troops that the British beach landing forces came up against.I would suggest that the airborne forces of all three nations played a major role in that they prevented re-inforcements from reaching the battle on the coast which was tough enough for the amphibious troops as it was, if more enemy troops had arrived the invasion would certainly have failed completely and the lost of life would have been unbeleivable. The opposition for the lightly armed airborne soldier is just as great and he is completely surrounded BY CHOICE, that is why 80% of volunteers fail to pass the selection test, they are without a doubt the best,( but perhaps I am biased)

How many paratroopers were there D Day?
I can't seem to find a total for both 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions."By the end of the day, the 101st Airborne Division had assembled only 2,500 of the 6,600 men who had dropped during the morning hours."Quoted from page 288 of US Army's History of WW2 volume entitled "Cross-Channel Attack".From Service of Supply Militaria & Reproductions-For D-Day, the US airborne divisions landed 3 parachute infantry regiments (PIR) with about 11,000 (TO&E 11,432) troopers in each division. That is for both the 82nd and the 101st. This figure includes all attached units, glider, artillery, and parachute infantry, plus medical, headquarters, etc.http://www.serviceofsupply.com
