Fallschirmjäger: German Paratroopers from Glory to Defeat 1939–1945 is a richly illustrated and detailed account of the elite German airborne troops—Fallschirmjäger—who played a crucial role in Nazi Germany’s military campaigns during World War II.

The book charts the rise and fall of these paratroopers, beginning with their formation and early successes during the invasions of Norway, the Low Countries, and especially their daring assault on Crete in 1941. It follows their transition from elite airborne forces to hard-pressed infantry fighting desperate defensive battles on the Eastern Front, in Italy, and finally in Germany itself.

Through a combination of archival photographs, uniform and equipment illustrations (by renowned military artist Ronald Volstad), and concise narrative history by Ian Baxter, the book paints a vivid picture of the tactics, weapons, and combat experiences of the Fallschirmjäger units.
