German Paratroopers Volume 3 - Campaigns and Combat Operations, Decorations, Ephemera

What's my Size?

The long-awaited third and final volume of German Paratroopers covers concludes the three-volume series covering World War II-era German paratroopers and their uniforms and equipment. This time, the contents cover those topics not included in the previous volumes.

Initially, the operational history of the German airborne forces between 1936 and 1945 is summarized. This section includes detailed views of more than 45 accurately uniformed mannequins, over half of which were specifically assembled for this project. They illustrate the appearance of German paratroopers from their beginnings in Regiment “General Göring” through the unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht in May 1945.

Aside from the exhaustively covered paratroopers of the Luftwaffe, the approximately 2,000 army and Waffen-SS paratroopers receive their own chapter in this book. Along with rare uniform items, documents and many hitherto unpublished photos are shown here.

Most importantly, this volume covers details about:

  • Combat Operations
  • Army Paratroopers, Waffen-SS Paratroopers
  • The Parachutist Badge, Cuff Titles, Formation and Unit Badges, Awards and Documents
  • Identity Disks and Personal Documents
  • Estates of Paratroopers
  • Canteen Ware, Printed Matter, and More
