Combat Series 1- British Paratrooper Versus Fallschirmjager: Mediterranean 1942-43 by David Greentree
The airborne forces of Britain and Germany were among their best troops of World War II and when they met in battle the result was a fierce trial of strength. When British paratroopers and German Fallschirmjager clashed in the three bruising encounters outlined here, in Tunisia and Sicily, their training, tactics, experience, morale and weaponry were tested to the limit. From the British attempts to seize the airfields at Depienne and Oudna to the bloody night battle for Green Hill and the bitter struggle for Primosole Bridge in Sicily, these highly trained parachute troops would be pitted against their opposite numbers, refining tactics and learning valuable lessons.
Featuring first-hand accounts, contemporary photos, detailed maps and specially commissioned artwork, including a split-screen ‘soldier’s eye view’ comparison piece, this book details the the contrasting experiences of the opposing troops, from training and equipment through to battle, matching these elite troops against each other and analyzing their effectiveness in combat.
This book is approx. 9-3/4” x 7-1/4” and has 80 pages.
