Soldaten im Einsatz

At one time this blog was dedicated to the Fallschirmjäger (German Paratrooper) of World War Two. Now it has grown out of that a bit. I still have a hard-on for WWII History, and all. I just need to slag off a bit. Sorry.This is not intended to glorify, incite any political/racial ideology, or for that matter lighten the matters of combat in WWII. It is intended for those who have an interest in this fascinating and illustrious part of human history.
The main theme will be about the Fallschirmjäger, but also other armed forces of Germany in WWII.

I miscalculated when I recommended this attack, and this not only meant the loss of my Fallschirmjager, who were my sons, but also the death of the German Airborne forces for which I personally created.”-Kurt Student
