Reader reviews for Us Paratrooper 1941-45

From the publisher

In Sicily, Normandy, and in the frozen hills of the Ardennes, America's airborne warriors proved themselves some of the toughest and most determined soldiers of World War II (1939-1945). What made these soldiers so special? How were they recruited, how did they learn to jump and fight? What special tactics and equipment did they use? This title looks at what it was like to be one of the United States' airborne elite, through the experiences of the soldiers themselves. It is the story of the men who invariably led the way; the soldiers who flew to battle and walked home.

First line

"General Kurt Student's German paratroopers (Fallschirmjagers, to give them their German name) and their glider offensive on Eban Emael in May 1940 made the world aware of a new threat: death from above."
