Get ready for a spectacular, action packed experience!
This DLC will take the singleplayer format a step up, with its upgraded features.
Step in the shoes of a US paratrooper and get ready to go into action at the crack of dawn on D-Day. Take part in Operation Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge and advance into Germany proper for the crossing of the Elbe river. Immerse yourself in the iconic battles that gained the 82nd and 101st legendary status!

As you may have come to expect from us, the battlegrounds will be the real thing; detailed recreations of iconic locations such as Brécourt Manor, the bridge at la Fière and the Nijmegen bridge during operation Market Garden.
Twelve single player/ co-op missions await, with all of the right maps and assets to immerse you deeply.

The units that are featured in the Airborne campaign will be two of the most famous US divisions in military history: The 82nd and 101st airborne divisions.

In 1942, the 82nd “All American” was the first US airborne division ever to be formed.
Their baptism of fire followed in 1943, when they were paradropped over Sicily, and later over Salerno.
During the Normandy invasion, the 82nd carried out “Mission Boston”, in which one of its objectives was to take Sainte-Mère-Église. Obviously this mission will be included in the DLC, along with the other missions that tell you the story of the 82nd.

The 101st “Screaming Eagles” is the second oldest airborne division of the US armed forces, also redesignated from being an “Organized Reserve” infantry division in 1942.
Like the 82nd, the 101st was dropped before dawn on D-Day, their objective being to secure the village of Saint-Martin-de-Varreville, and the causeways to (or from) Utah beach. The 101st became even more legendary during the Battle of the Bulge, when they defended the besieged Belgian town of Bastogne. This, and other famous battles will be included in the storyline for the 101st.

HD Link
Other than single player missions - which can be played as co-ops as well - there are some new vehicles and a lot of new assets.
The assets will be a big expansion to the options for the western front, including an assortment of assets for the Netherlands. Some pretty spectacular objects await!
On the whole, the table of contents is perfectly suited for the campaign.
You can find the content listing on the store page.

HD Link
The Airborne DLC requires the Ostfront base game only, even if there are US forces involved. We obviously encourage anyone to try the Liberation DLC as well, which adds the US as a nation, but to play the Airborne DLC it’s not required.
