4.0 out of 5 stars
Very Fascinating!,
By Alex Yim (Nottingham, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: German Paratroopers in Action: 1939-1945 (Hardcover)
This book is informative and comprehensive about Fallschirmjager in World War II. It illustrates many photos and detailed narration that are easy to understand about German Paratroopers' creation, campaigns of the war in Europe and Africa, and distinctive equipment and weapons.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting Book,
This review is from: German Paratroopers in Action: 1939-1945 (Hardcover)
This book covers the German parachue forces from their beginning until the end of W.W. II. The book has lots of photographs, some seen here for the first time. But, unfortunately, whoever did the research mis-captioned a great number of them. Other than this fcat, it is till a useful book for military historians.
