Description
The world's first paratroopers to be used in large numbers, the GermanFallschirmjager were at the tip of the spear when war broke out in 1939. Theyled daring assaults on strategic targets, such as the fortress at Eben Emael,enabling the following panzers to overrun Europe.
As a paratrooper force the Fallschirmjager's greatest achievement would bethe intense fighting they performed as they seized Crete in the face of morenumerous British and Commonwealth forces during 1941. This pyrrhic victorymeant that they were never again used en masse.
Small units still operated by glider and parachute, famously rescuing Italianleader Mussolini, and raiding behind American lines in the Ardennes. Theirfinest hour would undoubtly be the bitter fighting as they occupied themonastery at Monte Cassino for months in the face of overwhelming odds, earningthemselves the nickname ‘Green Devils’. The German Paratroopers werearguably the toughest in a tough army.
