Studio and Field Portraits of German Paratroops
in World War II
By

<><><><>
A little more than 30,000 men of the Wehrmacht and SS
qualified to wear the famed Fallschirmschützenabzeichen,
or Paratrooper Badge, between 1936 and 1944.
The badges they wore, and the images of the men who
wore them, are avidly sought by collectors and
historians
around the world today.
The authors have assembled over 300 indoor and
outdoor posed portrait photographs of the Fallschirmjäger
for this volume, most never before published, providing
a fascinating representation of the photographers art
in World War II and a superb study of their uniforms,
badges and insignia.
In poses ranging from fierce to thoughtful and even poignant,
the German paratroops of World War II are seen here in perfect
focus, as they wanted to be seen, preserved in deliberate portraiture for posterity.
Product Identifiers uniforms and equipment of the elite German Fallschirmjäger
is the subject of this detailed, illustrated study.
Authentic items - smocks, dress tunics, boots, insignia,
helmets, visor caps, gloves, knee pads and more -
are shown in superb color photos, in both multiple full-view,
and detail shots.

equipment being worn on a variety of war fronts.
