Inspired by the exploits of the German Fallschirmjager in the
blitzkrieg campaigns, Winston Churchill called for the formation of
a 5,000-strong Airborne Force in June 1940. From these beginnings
The Parachute Regiment became one of the foremost units of the
British Army both in World War II and up to the present day. This
new history of the British Paratrooper, from 1940 to 1945, details
the unique training, weapons and equipment used by these elite
troops. A wealth of first-hand and until now unpublished materials
brings the history of the ordinary paratrooper to life, drawing on
the author's position as a former curator of the Regimental Museum.
Illustrations and photographs illuminate the equipment and combat
performance of the elite 'Paras' in the context of some of the most
significant campaigns of World War II, including D-Day and
Operation Market-Garden.
