Minifigure – A combat squad of paratroopers from the United States Army’s 101st Airborne Division Screaming Eagles (LEGO Compatible)

This image displays a full set of six toy minifigures representing a combat squad of paratroopers from the United States Army’s 101st Airborne Division, the famous “Screaming Eagles” of World War II. All the soldiers are depicted wearing the tan M1942 paratrooper uniform and M1 helmets with camouflage netting. Each figure is a generic soldier designed to represent a specific combat role within a typical airborne squad, as identified by their unique weapon and the text below them. The soldiers and their equipment are as follows: Top row, from left to right:

• N651 – Automatic Rifleman: Armed with the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), this soldier’s role was to provide heavy, suppressive fire for the rest of the squad.
• N652 – NCO/Assault Trooper: Armed with the Thompson submachine gun, this soldier is equipped for close-quarters combat and likely represents a squad leader (NCO).
• N653 – Anti-Tank Gunner: Equipped with the Bazooka rocket launcher, this soldier was responsible for destroying enemy tanks, armored vehicles, and fortifications.

Bottom row, from left to right:

• N654 – Carbineer: Armed with the standard M1 Carbine with a fixed stock, a lightweight weapon suitable for various support roles.
• N655 – Rifleman: Armed with the M1 Garand rifle, the powerful and reliable standard-issue semi-automatic rifle for most U.S. soldiers.
• N656 – Paratrooper Carbineer: Armed with the M1A1 Carbine, which is distinguished by its folding wire stock, making it more compact and ideal for carrying during a parachute jump.

Together, these figures represent a well-rounded and historically accurate American airborne infantry squad from the European theater of World War II.
