4.0 out of 5 starsA great collector's reference.
By Leif Jacobsen on August 19, 2000
Format: Hardcover
This is a great picture book, mostly done with contemporary photos of the collections of Wili Zahn and Chris Mason, two of the foremost Fallschirmjaeger collectors. For those interested in the uniforms and equipment of the German Paratroopers this book is a must. Great photography, and some rare stuff that you will never see elsewhere. A must for the collector.

3.0 out of 5 starsDisappointingly Inconsistent
By P. Geyer on August 1, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The difficult thing about producing a book focused on a personal collection is that the book will be strong in the areas that interest the author, while being severely lacking where the author doesn't have an interest or has a hole in his collection. "German Paratroops" suffers from this problem in spades.

If you're interested in German paratroopers from the invasion of Crete on, you probably won't be disappointed. If, on the other hand, you want to know about German paratrooper uniforms from the pre-war period through the invasions of Norway, Belgium, and the Netherlands in 1940, you're completely out of luck. These were among the Fallschrimjägers' most notable campaigns, and yet you would never know they happened from reading "German Paratroops".

Another issue that I had is that, while the author offers cursory descriptions of specific items in his collection, he expends no effort whatsoever to place that item in history. What came before it? What came after it? How was it used? What were its strengths or shortcomings? The reader is left with no idea. Similarly, particular features of featured items are described, but the photos - nice as they are - ignore those particular features. A specific example is that the author describes a feature of the helmet liner that is apparently unique to all early war double-decal helmets. But despite offering several photos of the exterior of these helmets, not once does the author actually turn the helmet over to offer a photo of what he just described. In this and many other places, close-up photos of details are lacking and are sorely missed. Finally, while individual items are shown in isolation, the author never actually puts it all together to show a fully equipped soldier.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsFallschimjager Special
By Phillip D. Ellerbee on October 5, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Excellent pictorial coverage for the collector/specialist and even for those just interested in how the German military equiped their airborne troops. Would be especially interesting for American Paratroopers, both ex and active to compare their equivalent equipment. I was dissapointed in the fact that there were not any close ups of the German static-line snap-fastner. However, this is only a minor distraction in an otherwise very comprehensive book. This would be a great companion book for the excellent Schiffer Book "Geronimo" which covers WWII American Airborne clothing and equipment.
