description: The daring and skill of the highly trained men who spearheaded the German assaults in the blitzkrieg of 1940 proved to an alarmed world a new dimension had opened in the science of warfare. They dropped from the air, seizing and overwhelming key invasion points--most spectacularly during the invasion of Crete in 1941. Through interviews with many of the leading members of the Fallschirmjaeger units and formations that survived the war, a well-known military historian offers a fascinating and dramatic account of these elite forces.
