The US Airborne force fielded some of the toughest, best-trained
and most resourceful troops of World War II - all necessary
qualities in a force that was lightly armed and which would in most
operational circumstances be surrounded from the moment it landed
on the battlefield. The German Wehrmacht grew to rely on a series
of defensive measures to combat the airborne threat, including
fortifications, localized reserves, and special training to help
intercept and disrupt airborne troops both in the air and on the
ground. Despite such methods it was cool-headed command and control
that would prove to be the real key to blunting the Airborne's
edge.
Using specially commissioned artwork, this book examines the
development of the American airborne forces that spearheaded the
Allied effort in Sicily, Normandy and Operation Market Garden, and
the German countermeasures that evolved in response to the threat
of Allied airborne landings.
