The 101sr Airborne Division had two Glider Infantry Regiments, the 327th & the 401st. The 401st was split in half just before Normandy, half remaining with the 101st, the other half joining the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division. The 327th & half of the 401st served in Normandy, Holland & at Bastogne with the 101st. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections
