German Paratroops of the 1st Battalion, 3rd
Fallschirmjager Regiment on the Russian Front, September
to November, 1941. This book presents in words and
images the first operational use of German paratroopers
in the Russian campaign, and also the first time they
served as conventional infantry. It describes the
horrific weather, and unspeakable living and fighting
conditions endured by these elite soldiers who were
deployed in the trenches near the Neva River in northern
Russia. Outnumbered in men and equipment, they fought
bravely and with distinction.
