WWII German - Fallschirmjager
|
 |
|
|
|
The Fallschirmjager (German Airborne troops) performed the first airborne invasion when they assaulted Denmark on the 9 April 1940. Following this success were the airlandings of Norway and Operation Mercury in taking Crete. Unlike their Allied counterparts these German Paratroopers were attached to the German Luftwaffe rather than the army. They were highly trained, invariably veteran troops, as the Allies found in such legendary battles as Eben Emael, Carentan, Monte Cassino and Arnhem. Wherever the Fallschirmjager were, a bloody struggle was sure to be had.
