A very good book, depicting the trials and errrors of the German Fallschirmjager corps from 1940-'45. very detailed, true quotes from the unit commanders themselves. I highly reccomend if you're into german ww2 history.

Excellent read!,
This review is from: Hunters from the Sky: The German Parachute Corps, 1940-1945 (Paperback)
I first read this book in eighth grade, and have read my first copy to tatters. It doesn't matter which side you're rooting for in World War II (Allied, hopefully!), this book is an excellent read that keeps your attention to the very end. I would even put it on par with some of today's best fiction works, as this reads like a novel.
This book shows the creation of the Fallschirmjager Corps, as well as most of its famous actions. Everything from the surprisingly effective assault on Eben Emaul to the Pyrrhic victory on Crete to the later years as "Der Fuhrer's Fire Brigade." This book tells the gripping true story of the recapture of Benito Mussolini after his 'dethroning.' And to the history buff, it shows how much the British and American militaries borrowed from the Fallschirmjager Corps. All in all, this is an excellent book written by an amazing author about an outstanding Corps that would change the face of warfare for years to come.

This review is from: Hunters from the Sky: The German Parachute Corps, 1940-1945 (Paperback)
A very high quality book (pages are all glossy enamel stock) of WW2 German paratroops. Pretty much every page has a photograph, some of them never before seen, so I classify it as a "photographic history". The written parts give a good account of Gemran paratroops in WW2. This is a large book and could easily be used as a "coffee table book" if so desired.
