  • Résumé

  • Arnold "Dutch" Nagel volunteered to be a paratrooper in WW 2 because of the extra $50 per month jump pay paratroopers received and the distinctive uniforms they wore. By war's end, he had participated in 4 combat jumps - Sicily, Maiori, Italy, Operation Market Garden in Holland, and on D-Day at Sainte Mere Eglise, France - and had fought in the invasion of Sicily, the liberation of Naples, Italy, D-Day, and the Battle of the Bulge. Nagel was one of only three men from Co. C, 1st Squad, 1st Platoon of the 505th 82nd Airborne Division to survive the war. 45 years later he became perhaps the war's last casualty when he made a commemorative jump to mark the opening of the Airborne and Special Operations Museum back where his service began at the home of the 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
