    The Paratrooper Generals Part 1 with Mitch Yockelson
    May 1 2024
    Author Mitch Yockelson joins us with insights from his latest work, The Paratrooper Generals: Matthew Ridgway, Maxwell Taylor, and the American Airborne from D-Day through Normandy.

    Generals during World War II usually stayed to the rear, but not Matthew Ridgway and Maxwell Taylor. During D-Day and the Normandy campaign, these commanders of the 82nd “All-American” and the 101st “Screaming Eagle” Airborne Divisions refused to remain behind the lines and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with their paratroopers in the thick of combat.

    Yockelson is the Investigative Archivist Manager for the National Archives and Records Administration, a historian, and professor.
