The 517th's Gang, Part 1: Italy & Southern France

“The 517th's Gang” is based on a collection of testimonies from veterans of the 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team. This unit first saw action in Italy, then took part in the Provence landings. It was subsequently engaged in the Battle of the Ardennes and the Battle of the Hürtgen Forest. Most of the stories told come from conversations among veterans, as well as from interviews conducted by the author.

Numerous photographs and items from private collections complement the testimonies. “The 517th's Gang” was written to remember those who have been forgotten by history.
