Units in the Airborne Divisions portrayed characteristics and a culture symbolic and unique to paratroopers. A demolition section attached to the 1stBattalion, 506thParachute Regiment, 101stAirborne Division, nicknamed the “Filthy Thirteen,” provides a great example.
The “Filthy Thirteen” gained their national fame from pictures taken of them prior to their Airborne assault into Normandy. The ringleader, Jake McNiece, was a native of Oklahoma. Prior to their jump, he gave himself a Mohawk shave for a haircut.
