Born in 1969, author Volker Griesser was interested in a wide variety of military subjects. As a paratrooper in the Bundeswehr and a member of the Bund Deutscher Fallschirmjager he maintained numerous contacts with fellow paratroopers as well as historians and collectors from aruond the globe
I found this an interesting insight into the combat history of this
group of elite troops who earned much respect from their enemies as
well for their actions.

This is a good insight into the later Fallschirmjager - not as well
trained as the original formations but with a fighting spirit that
made up for their critical logistic shortcomings. The book is chock
full of little titbits, such as squad and platoon composition and
the fact that ‘drop’ training was only abandoned in early 1944.

…wonderfully documented book…Within each chapter are numerous
detailed and insightful personal accounts of combat, troop
movements and war experiences… provides an excellent account of
what it was like fighting in WWII from the German soldier’s
perspective. It was an enjoyable and informative read. The many
photographs complimented the text nicely, but were also interesting
to view as a photo album.
