Description of  Fallschirmjager in Action - Combat Troops Number 1 (Squadron/Signal Publications 3001)

This book follows the training and first drops of the Fallschirmjager, which taught the allies the use of airborne troops. But as a quirk of fate would have it after Crete Hitler decided they could no longer be used because the surprise of airborne drops had been extended. These elite forces were still used as ground troops until the end of the war. In this book we examine and trace their history through the eye of the camera lens.
