nice "chute. i'd say italy as well, but don't forget the italians have jumpers as well so it might have been for them.

This came out of an estate this morning (along with a pile of random SSIs). The former owner would have been 14 in 1945 so I'm assuming he collected from vets in his hometown.

Nice patch. Looks Italian. Not necessarily 82nd but also 509th PIR.

 

Or 517th or 551st - they both staged out of Italy for the jump into Southern France in August 1944
