About this book:
The 7th Flieger Division was first used in a minor reconnaissance role in the attack on Poland; the Fallschirmjäger would see heavier action in the war in 1940. In the invasion of Crete the Fallschirmjäger were victorious but heavily bloodied—henceforth they would be used only as an infantry unit fighting with distinction in Sicily and Italy, particularly Monte Cassino. 96 page book with 11 color and 98 black & white photos plus 6 maps.
