Devils in Baggy Pants

[Drywall]

The June issue of the Minnesota Legionnaire has the story of a young army chaplain who seved with the 504 PIR 82nd AB at Anzio. The following quote was found in a German officers diary who had opposed the 504 at the Anzio beachhead.

"American parachutists - devils in baggy pants - are less than 100 meters from my outpost line. I can't sleep at night: they pop up from nowhere and we never know when or how they will strike next. Seems like the black-hearted devils are everywhere." The Devils in Baggy Pants became the title of the regiments official history.

The newspapers address is www.mnlegion.org but when I went there, they still had the May issue on line. Hopefully in a few days they will put June up. The story is titled "Because that's where the men are."
