Mission Brief
Screaming Eagles — From the skies of Normandy to the frozen forests of Bastogne.
The 101st Airborne Division earned undying fame on June 6, 1944, when its paratroopers jumped into the darkness over Normandy just hours before the D-Day beach landings, seizing key causeways and disrupting German defenses across the Cotentin Peninsula. Their baptism of fire over France established the Screaming Eagles as one of the premier combat divisions of the entire war.
Six months later, surrounded and outnumbered at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, the 101st famously refused to surrender — Brigadier General McAuliffe's one-word reply "NUTS!" became a symbol of American resolve. The division fought through the liberation of Europe all the way to Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden.
Perfect for WWII history enthusiasts, collectors, and builders aged 12 and up.
Build the legend of the Screaming Eagles — the division that held when the line had to hold.
