“On the night of the 11th to 12th September, I was made to understand that the allies would not keep me alive in their hands... It was 14:00 hours when I saw the first glider land, followed by others and then groups of men approached the refuge, prepared to eliminate any resistance. The guards watching over me couldnít understand what was happening and didn’t fire. The whole thing lasted five minutes. The enterprise, example of the Germans’ organisation, decision and sense of initiative would be remembered in the history of the war. In time it will become legendary.”With these prophetic words, Mussolini himself described the audacious Operation Oak raid by German Waffen-SS that freed him from his captors in the Hotel Campo Imperatore. This book provides a complete, illustrated account of the controversial and dangerous liberation of one of history’s most infamous leaders, Mussolini.

Although it is known that Allied airborne forces landed into a German buzzsaw on D-Day, far less is known about the troops they encountered in the dark night of June 6, 1944. One of the formations they encountered was a similarly elite group of paratroopers, who instead of dropping from the skies fought on the defensive, giving their Allied counterparts a tremendous challenge in achieving their objectives.This is the complete wartime history of one of the largest German paratrooper regiments, 6th , from its initial formation in the spring of 1943 to its last day at the end of the war. With numerous firsthand accounts from key members, reporting on their experiences, they describe the events of 1943–45 vividly and without compromise. These accounts reveal previously unknown details about important operations in Italy, Russia, on the Normandy Front, Belgium, Holland, the last German Parachute drop in the Ardennes, and the final battle to the end in Germany.With over 220 original photographs, many from private collections and never before published, this book fully illustrates the men, their uniforms, equipment and weapons. Also included is an appendix with maps, battle calendar, staffing plans, a list of field and post-MOB-numbers, and the Knight's Cross recipients of the regiment. Having earned the respect of the Allied forces who fought against it during World War II, this work will inform current readers of the full record of Fallschirmjäger Regiment 6, and why the Allied advance into German-held Europe was so painstaking to achieve.Table of ContentsPreface1.

When German forces attacked in the Ardennes in December 1944, the paratroopers of the 3rd Fallschirmjager Division traded their parachutes for snow boots and fought on the ground with the 6th Panzer Army in the northern sector of the Battle of the Bulge. For six cold, bloody weeks, the Germans struggled and ultimately failed to make gains against a tenacious American defense. This is the story of their bitter combat--in the words of German and American soldiers who were there.

Officially a part of the Luftwaffe, Germany's parachute units were organized into the 7th Flieger Division in July 1938 under General Kurt Student. In the German invasion of France and the Low Countries in 1940 the parachute units stunned the world and laid the basis for an airborne mystique that has endured to the present day. The division also fought in Norway, Greece and Crete before surrendering in Italy in 1945. Each Spearhead title includes an evaluation of the units combat effectiveness as seen by the unit, its opponents and subsequent researchers, and a research section including a bibliography and a listing of museums, websites, re-enactment groups and memorials.
