Filthy Thirteen

The Filthy Thirteen was the name given to the 1st Demolition Section of the Regimental Headquarters Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, of the United States Army, which fought in the European campaign during WWII. This unit inspired the 1965 novel and 1967 film The Dirty Dozen.

Jake Mcnasty Mcniece-The Man Behind The Mayhem

Jake McNiece was a member of the Filthy Thirteen, a group of men who served with the 101st Airborne Division's 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment in WWII. The Filthy Thirteen was to infiltrate Normandy ahead of other D-Day assault units on June 6th and carry out sabotage by breaking bridges, preventing the Germans from replenishing their beach positions. Jake McNiece and the rest of the Filthy Thirteen stood out from the other 101st Pathfinders not only because of their mission but also because they shaved their heads in a Mohawk style and painted their faces like Indian warriors. They were also assigned to the regimental headquarters rather than a pathfinder company.
