Paratroopers to Trendsetters: The Mohawk Haircut Takes Center Stage!

U.S. 17th Airborne Paratroopers, their hair cut in Mohawk-style, are briefed for the next day's jump across the Rhine, Arras France, March 23, 1945.
The soldier in the right front has a German pistol holster on his belt, likely captured in Belgium.

Operation Varsity, the jump across the Rhine to support Montgomery's river crossing, included one British - the 6th plus Canadians - and one American airborne divisions - the 17th. the 6th had jumped into Normandy; the 17th had not made a combat jump but had fought very well as infantry during the Ardennes (Bulge) campaign.

The jump and the following glider assault took place in daylight (because of the misdrop of almost all units at Normandy), and landed on top of German units. It was successful, but suffered extremely high casualties.
With the success of Operation Varsity, the northern route into the industrial heart of Germany was now wide open.
