WWII British Paratroops
As the war approached it was seen that having the ability to drop elite troops behind enemy lines would be a major tactical advantage. By the end of December 1940, everything was in place to create the British 1st Airborne Division whose distinctive mark was to be the beret and a shoulder patch with Bellerophan astride the winged horse Pegasus.

WWII U.S. Infantry
The US infantry regiment of World War II was a powerful, flexible organization and was the core of the infantry division. During the Battle of the Bulge in late 1944/ early 1945 the infantry suffered high casualties, but managed to turn back the final push by the German army.

A02703 - WWII U.S. Infantry

WWII British Commandos
The British Commandos were the first formed by the British Army in June 1940 during World War II as a well-armed but non-regimental raider force employing unconventional and irregular tactics to assault, disrupt and reconnoitre the enemy in mainland Europe and Scandinavia.

WWII British 8th Army
The Eighth Army was one of the best-known formations in World War II, fighting in the North African and Italian campaigns. At the beginning of November 1942 the Eighth Army defeated Rommel in the decisive Second Battle of El Alamein, pursuing the defeated Axis army across Libya, eventually leading to the Axis forces abandoning North Africa.
