Airborne over Germany
The 8th Infantry Division in Germany in 1972 had two Airborne Battalions(about 1200 men).If the Russia decided to take its 25 to 30 Infantry and Armored Divisions and roll across the border our job was to parachute into their path and become something like a speed bump while everybody else was getting ready to come and face them head-on.What a plan!anyway here is a photo of us,Bravo Company 1/509th,Devils in baggy pants!
