Minifigure – Paratrooper from the United States Army’s 101st Airborne Division Screaming Eagles (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents a paratrooper from the United States Army’s 101st Airborne Division, the renowned “Screaming Eagles” of World War II. His identity is explicitly confirmed by the text at the bottom of the image, which reads “U.S AIRBORNE 101ST.” He is a generic soldier, representing the thousands of airborne troops who fought in crucial battles like D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge.

His identity as a U.S. paratrooper is established by his specific uniform and equipment, which were designed for the unique challenges of airborne assault.

The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and his weapon:

• The toy minifigure is wearing the tan M1942 paratrooper combat uniform. The printing is highly detailed, showing his web gear, which includes a bandolier of ammunition pouches slung over his shoulder, grenades, and a holstered pistol marked “U.S.” His headgear is the iconic American M1 helmet, shown with a printed camouflage net over it, and he has an American flag patch on his arm.
• His weapon accessory is an M1 Carbine, as stated in the image text. This was a lightweight, easy-to-use semi-automatic carbine that was very popular with paratroopers due to its compact size and low weight compared to the full-sized M1 Garand rifle. This specific toy represents the standard model with a fixed wooden stock.
