Product Description

Product Description

The idea of using the newly available transport aircraft of the 1930s to deliver surprise assaults by small bodies of shock-troops was vigorously developed by the German armed forces in the late 1930s as a part of the blitzkrieg concept.

4.0 out of 5 stars An intersting book with many excellent photos, 10 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This is well produced book with informative well written text. The photos of of the fallschirmjager in traing and in action are numerous and of good quality. With detailed sections on all major campaings the book is always interesting. However i felt the sections on the Western front were a little lean in pictures and text. Whilst actual campaings were well covered i felt that the sections on training were over detailed (although this is personal preference).For me the most glaring ommission was despite having a section specifically on weapons there was virtually no mention of the FG 42 (purpose made paratroopes automatic rifle). Although it was only issued in small numbers it was specific to the paratroops and deserved more of a mention. For those with an already detailed knowlledge of the Fallschirmjager this is probably not the book to go for. However any newcomers or those with a partial interest would do well to buy it the pictures are numerous and varied and the text gives good detail without ever getting overly complicated.
