So this unit was at North Africa first, then went to Sicily and then to Naples. Then it was at Anzio and the Rome offensive. Then it moved to Southern France where it continued into Germany.
It received credit for occupation of Germany from 2 May until 31 Oct 1945.

What was the insignia of the 504th PID 82nd Airborne?
The "unofficial" patch of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment was a white circle with a blue border. Within the circle, in the background, a deployed parachute. In the foreground is a side profile of the devil, in red. In his right hand there is a red pitch fork. The devil's left hand is open, with his thumb touching the tip of his nose. Obviously he is expressing his opinion of the enemy. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com

What were the different US Airborne Divisions in World War 2?
11th Airborne Division (The Angels)- Participated in the Philippines campaign seeing action on both Leyte and Luzon. Along with the 37th Infantry Division and the 1st Cavalry Division it participated in the liberation of Manila13th Airborne Division (No known nickname) - Was deployed to Europe in early 1945 and was slated to be part of Operation Varsity, the Rhine Crossing. It was dropped from that assault due to a lack of sufficient transport aircraft. It was scheduled to participate in other planned drops but events proved these to be unnecessary. Thus it did not see combat as a unit. The 517th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) which was attached to the division in March 1945 did see combat as part of the invasion of southern France (Operation Dragoon) and during the Battle of the Bulge.17th Airborne Division (Thunder from Heaven) - Its first combat was during the latter stages of the Battle of the Bulge when it participated in the counter offensive southwest of Bastogne. Its first and only airborne drop in combat was in Operation Varsity.82nd Airborne Division (All American) - It saw more combat than any of the other airborne divisions, both in the Mediterranean and in northwest Europe. In the MTO it participated in the invasion of Sicily and the Salerno landings in Italy. The 504th PIR also was present in the Anzio beachhead. In the ETO it participated in the Normandy invasion, Operation Market-Garden centered on Nijmegen, and the Battle of the Bulge, fighting on the northern side of the "Bulge".101st Airborne Division (The Screaming Eagles) - Its first action was as part of the Normandy invasion. It also participated in Operation Market-Garden centered on Eindhoven. Its most famous action was at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge.In addition to the above mentioned active airborne divisions there were a number of what were called "ghost" and "phantom" divisions. Ghost divisions were slated for activation but were cancelled in 1943 due to manpower issues resulting from various reasons. The 15th Airborne Division was one of these "ghost" divisions with the 545th Parachute Regiment and the 191st and 192nd Glider Infantry Regiments slated to form the infantry complement. Phantom divisions were created as part of the fictitious U.S. 1st Army Group designed to deceive the Germans as to the location of the upcoming invasion of Europe. The 6th, 9th, 18th, 21st& 135th Airborne Divisions were among these phantom divisions.This information comes from the book Order of Battle U.S. Army, World War II by Shelby Stanton. This is an excellent source of information regarding the individual units in the U.S. Army during WWII.
