Hunters from the Sky: The German Parachute Corps 1940-1945

Lot # 30      

Good condition with dust jacket. "Charles Whiting captures the terror and the exhilaration of the first parachute combat drop made by the Germans into Holland in May of 1...more940, and relates the entire dramatic story of Nazi Airborne tactics throughout WWII. We see Luftwaffe General Kurt Student fighting to use his airborne troops, not just as saboteurs but as the essential element in the new blitzkrieg, taking bridges, capturing airfields from the surprised enemy, sometimes with losses of fifty percent. The power of the German paratroop corps was broken in 1941, yet they lived to pass on their traditions to the new "paras" who were to follow. The Red Devils, Les Paras, The Screaming Eagles-all names which make the hearts of their friends beat more boldly and those of their enemies jump with fear, names synonymous with tough reckless men, quite different from the common run of soldiers. They do not march to war as do the infantry. Nor do they ride there like the tankers. Instead they drop from the air into the midst of the enemy's defenses, prepared to engage in individual combat as soon as their boots hit the ground. The paratroopers, whatever their nationality, have their own particular mystique, composed in equal parts of boldness, bravado, and unbeatable professionalism."
