Question: Who was more famous in ww2, 82nd airborne or 101st airborne!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
My vote goes to the 82nd!.

The 101st played a big role during the Normandy landings, as well as during the Battle of the Bulge and Market Garden!.
The 82nd was present in the same battles, but existed longer than the 101st and therefor was present at more battlefields!.

i would have to say 101st airborne!. They were nicknamed the screaming eagles and had many famous missions!. They parachuted behind enemy lines on d-day and in little rock, they helped black students stay safe when they were going to an all white school!. I for one, do not even know who the 82nd airborne is or was!. The 101st was definately the more famous!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The 101 seems to be more famous now because of Band of Brothers!.
The 82d fought in many more campaigns!. N Africa, Sicily, Normandy,
Holland, and the battle of the bulge!.
Oh don't forget the 101 at Bastogne!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
