World War II paratroopers were part of various airborne divisions and included notable figures such as Major Richard Winters, who led Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, and Lieutenant Colonel James Gavin, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division. Other prominent paratroopers included Sergeant Donald Malarkey and Captain Herbert Sobel. These soldiers played crucial roles in key operations, such as D-Day and Operation Market Garden.
