THE 1ST FALLSCHIRMJAGER DIVISION IN WORLD WAR II:
                                                               VOLUME ONE: YEARS OF ATTACK

by Ben Christensen

The men of the German 1st Parachute Division are renowned as some of the best soldiers of World War II. At Eben Emael they executed the most successful commando raid of the war, on Crete the most audacious attack, and in Monte Cassino the most dogged defence. 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 Fallschirmjagers and their revolutionary vertical deployment in Scandinavia, Holland, Eben Emael, Corinth and Crete, and as elite infantry on the Eastern Front.

TARGET CORINTH CANAL 1940-44

by Platon Alexiades

During the Second World War the Corinth Canal assumed an importance disproportionate to its size. It was the focus of numerous special operations to prevent oil from the Black Sea reaching Italy, to delay the invasion of Crete and to sever vital German supply lines to Rommel's Army in North Africa. German airborne forces occupied the Canal to cut off the ANZAC retreat and Hitler needed the Canal kept open to maintain control of the Aegean Sea. Were this lost, he feared Turkey entering the War on the Allied side. The author unearths a treasure trove of facts on the little known operations of SOE and other special forces units.
