11th Airborne Division Facts in 11 Minutes

Come learn 11 Facts about America's 11th Airborne Division from historian and lecturer Jeremy C. Holm, author of WHEN ANGELS FALL: THE 511TH PARACHUTE INFANTRY REGIMENT IN WORLD WAR II.

With the exciting news that US Army Alaska (USARAK) will be reflagging as the reactivated 11th Airborne Division, Jeremy is excited to share with you the history of this iconic unit from its original activation in 1943 at Camp Mackall, North Carolina all the way to our modern Arctic Angels based in Alaska.

In this video you'll learn about the Division's campaigns on Leyte and Luzon in World War II, including their famous rescue of over 2,100 civilians from behind enemy lines at the Los Baños Internment Camp. Plus, you'll also discover how the Angels got their unforgettable nickname, saved the future for America's airborne divisions and what happened to the Angels during the Korean War and Vietnam.

After watching the 11th Airborne Division's Angels in action, US Sixth Army's General Walter Krueger said they were "the fightingest outfit I have ever seen!"
