Then I heard the click. That was the most pleasant sound I ever heard in the entire war.” General Maxwell D. Taylor, commander of the 101st A D. It was the means for paratroopers to identify friend from foe in the dark. - Metal cricket with Pfc. Cecil J. Mick, “D” Company, 2nd Battalion, 502nd PIR.

The 506th PIR was dropped at Son. The drop zone was well recognized because the house had a adjacent barn that had the word Paulushoef written of the roof, that is how they knew their DZ.
