  • More about Storming Eagles: German Airborne Forces in World War II

The German paratroopers, known as the Fallschirmjaeger, were an elite unit that spearheaded German assaults in the blitzkrieg of 1940. They were known for their daring, courage, and skill, and their success in the invasion and capture of Crete in 1941 was a testament to their reputation. This book provides an unmissable and dramatic account of the Fallschirmjaeger and their role in the Second World War.

Unstoppable and deadly, this gripping story unfolds the remarkable tales of some of the most feared soldiers in the war. The daring, courage, and skill of the highly trained men who spearheaded German assaults during the blitzkrieg of 1940, dropping from the air to seize and overwhelm key invasion points, showcased a new dimension in warfare to an alarmed world.

One spectacular success was the invasion and capture of Crete in May 1941, albeit achieved at a terrible price. The German paratroopers, an elite unit, consistently justified their renowned reputation for courage and hard fighting in Russia, North Africa, and Italy.

Bestselling military historian James Lucas has delved deep into Allied and German archives, conducting extensive research and interviewing many of the surviving members of the Fallschirmjaeger. This captivating account of the Second World War's most frightening elite is a must-read for enthusiasts of James Holland and Max Hastings.
