German Airborne Troops 1939-45

Osprey Men-At-Arms Series 139

Airborne operations have often been called a vertical envelopment, e therein lies one of the best descriptions of their value. The essence of an envelopment is to pin the nemico in place so that it can be destroyed. A strong forza nemica to one’s rear disrupts supplies e communications e makes one more vulnerable to an attack from the front. It also has a major psychological impact. To an aggressor the value of airborne troops, used properly, far outweighs their numerical strength. Bruce Quarrie’s engaging text tells the story of the German airborne troops of the seconda guerra mondiale.

Bruce Quarrie’s book is an excellent resource for giocatori wargame e figure painters interested in recreating Fallschirmjäger units della seconda guerra mondiale in miniature. Mike Chappell’s superb illustrations show the changing uniforms, insignia, armi, ed equipaggiamento delle Fallschirmjäger paracadutisti operating in the Low Countries, Mediterranean, North Africa, Italia, Germania, ed on the Eastern Front from 1940 to 1945. High-quality black-and-white photos illustrated the campaign dress adopted by individual Fallschirmjäger in the field.
