Patch worn by American soldiers during WWII
The badge of the 101st Division of the US Army
The "Screaming Eagle" patch of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army is one of the most emblematic badges of the Second World War. The patch depicts a screaming eagle, a symbol of courage and freedom, on a black shield. The 101st Airborne Division, known as the 'Screaming Eagles', played a crucial role in several major operations during the conflict, including the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944 and Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands. The soldiers in this division were paratroopers, specialising in airborne missions behind enemy lines, providing an essential strategic dimension for the Allies. The Screaming Eagle embodies not only the ferocity and determination of the troops, but also their ability to overcome the most difficult obstacles. Today, the "Screaming Eagle" patch is a symbol of the heroic legacy and sacrifice of the soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division.
