Specifications
As elite forces, the German Fallschirmjager (paratroopers) participated in front-line battles during World War II. Their renowned actions, such as the battles in Scandinavia, the capture of the Belgian fort Eben-Emael in May 1940, and the Battle of Crete just a year later, have earned them a reputation as determined, courageous, and loyal soldiers.
This book covers the early years of the Fallschirmstruppen (paratrooper units) before the war began, up to the peak of their successes in 1941, when the Fallschirmjager were deployed more often in a more "traditional" way, although high-risk actions (such as at Monte Cassino, the Gran Sasso operation) allowed them to reconnect with their glorious past.
