The role played by German Police Battalions in the destruction of the Jews and the Eastern European nationalities deemed superfluous or dangerous by the Third Reich is little known. Police, often aided by local auxiliaries killed over a million people in less than two years. Later in the war the battalions were formed into regiments and absorbed into the SS where they were active in the hunt for partisan bands behind the front lines. In this book you will find a history of each battalion and the men who participated in these actions. Many of these men survived the war and continued their careers in law enforcement.

Based on their combat achievements, friends and foes have singled out the men from the German 1st Parachute Division as the best soldiers in World War II.

A total of 129 Knights Crosses were awarded to men from the division. The books contains thirty detailed Orders of Battle, 500 short biographies of the key personnel in the division, and a list of all the Knights Cross and the German Cross in Gold winners. This first volume follows the recruitment and training of the Fallschirmjägers and their revolutionary vertical deployment in Scandinavia, Holland, Eben Emael, Corinth and Crete, through to two tours as elite infantry on the Eastern Front.

Subtitled 'Its Political and Military Failure' this is a study of the German Army's performance during the Third Reich era and WWII. Despite its lightning victories in Poland, Denmark, Norway,France and Belgium, the Wermacht was a prisoner of its heritage, both political and military,from which it never succeeded in breaking free. Its Generals surrendered military responsibility to Adolf Hitler and the Party and overstretched it on too many fronts - the author maintains that the war was lost by the Army rather than won by the Allies!
