What were the different US Parachute Regiment in World War 2?
The US had five airborne divisions in WWII. The Table of Organization changed drastically one time. See the related link below for the component elements of each of these five divisions, both before and after the change. The Parachute Infantry Regiments which were part of each division are listed on this table. You might note that WWII Airborne divisions included Glider Infantry regiments, who had a very raw deal. They crash-landed into combat with a guy who washed out from powered flight training at the controls, in a plywood glider. Many died on impact. No jump pay, no fancy jump boots or bloused trousers, no shiny wings for the chest (eventually they did get an insignia just for glidermen - instead of two wings it had only one, so it looked like the other had been broken off). The 517th Parachute Infantry was an "independent" regiment for most of the war, meaning it was not a part of an airborne division for most of its action. The 509th Parachute Battalion was also an "independent" battalion, and the only independent paratrooper battalion the US had in WWII. Both these units gave valuable service in the Mediterranean, and later in France and Germany. These units, along with the remnants of the First Special Service Force ("The Devil's Brigade") made up a "Provisional Airborne Division" (though there were only about seven battalions to this group; not quite division strength) which was the airborne component of the Operation Dragoon "Second D-Day" landings in southern France, August 15, 1944.
Where did the 92nd infantry division fought during world war 2?
In Italy. The three infantry regiments in the division were the 365th, 370th, and 371st Infantry. An "RCT" is a Regimental Combat Team, made by pairing an infantry regiment with an artillery battalion. (Every US infantry division had four artillery battalions to back up its three infantry regiments). "The 370th RCT, attached to the 1st Armored Division, arrived in Naples, Italy, 1 August 1944 and entered combat on the 24th. It participated in the crossing of the Arno River, the occupation of Lucca and the penetration of the Gothic Line. Enemy resistance was negligible in its area. As Task Force 92, elements of the 92d attacked on the Ligurian coastal flank toward Massa, 5 October. By the 12th, the slight gains achieved were lost to counterattacks. On 13 October, the remainder of the Division concentrated for patrol activities. Elements of the 92d moved to the Serchio sector, 3 November 1944, and advanced in the Serchio River Valley against light resistance, but the attempt to capture Castelnuovo did not succeed. Patrol activities continued until 26 December when the enemy attacked, forcing units of the 92d to withdraw. The attack ended on 28 December. Aside from patrols and reconnaissance, units of the 92d attacked in the Serchio sector, 5-8 February 1945, but enemy counterattacks nullified Division advances. On 1 April, the 370th Regiment and the attached 442d Infantry Regiment (Nisei) attacked in the Ligurian coastal sector and drove rapidly north against light opposition. The 370th took over the Serchio sector and pursued a retreating enemy from 18 April until the collapse of enemy forces, 29 April 1945. Elements of the 92d Division entered La Spezia and Genoa on the 27th and took over selected towns along the Ligurian coast until the enemy surrendered, 2 May 1945."
