In this action-packed account appearing for the first time in English Franz Kurowski straps readers into the harness with German paratroopers the elite Fallschirmjager as they jump into the inferno of combat in World War II. When the war erupted airborne troops joined nose-diving Stukas & thundering panzers as a crucial & fearsome part of the Nazi juggernaut that swept across Europe. In April 1940 the Fallschirmjager cascaded into Denmark & Norway where they seized important air bases. A month later in one of the wars most daring assaults paratroopers landed at Eben Emael & captured the Belgian fortress. The most famous German airborne offensive came in May 1941 with Operation Mercury the invasion of Crete. The Fallschirmjager encountered difficulties right after jumping but ultimately drove the British from the island though they suffered such high casualties that Hitler would not allow another large-scale drop. After Crete the paratroopers served mainly as motorized infantry for ground attacks. In this role they fought in North Africa; on Sicily; at Monte Cassino & elsewhere in Italy; in Normandy where they defended against the Allied invasion starting on D-Day in June 1944; & on the Eastern Front.A master of reconstructing small-unit actions Kurowski captures all the drama excitement & terror experienced by German paratroopers from the nervous anticipation inside a darkened airplane to do-or-die assaults under heavy fire & the deep comradeship that bound the Fallschirmjager for life.FRANZ KUROWSKI who served as a journalist with the German Army in World War II has written numerous books about the war. His other works include Panzer Aces Infantry Aces Luftwaffe Aces The Brandenburger Commandos Das Afrika Korps & Panzergrenadier Aces. ...
