Most history is written by the victors, but it's highly instructional to read what you can find written by the losers.

The Fallshirmjager were no less motivated or skilled than our own paratroops. They were well led, and did outstanding work.

This book, based on personal recollections and well illustrated with photographs from former Fallshimjager, gives the opposing point of view and, illustrates that many of our opponents during WWII were human, just like ourselves.

Well written and organized; a humanizing view from the other side.
