Knight’s Cross Holders of the Fallschirmjäger: Hitler’s Elite Parachute Force at War, 1940-1945

Presented here are the biographies of the 130 men of the FallschirmjÃ¤gerâ€”Hitlerâ€™s elite paratroopers, who won the Knightâ€™s Cross and its higher grades. These men fought on nearly every front during the Second World War, from their first action in Denmark in April 1940, to their last major battle at Monte Cassino. A total of twenty-four Knightâ€™s Crosses were awarded to FallschirmjÃ¤ger troops during the battles of Monte Cassino and in the airborne invasion of Crete with the remainder awarded during the fighting in France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Russia, and at least one in North Africa. These tough, elite soldiers parachuted behind enemy lines and were one of the most successful units during the Second World War. The book gives details of their promotions and other medals and decorations and is well illustrated with over 200 photographs.
