Re: Reference books for Fallschirmjager re-enactors
currently reading Daedalus returned- Baron Von der Heydte
very simple and easy to read book,
i skipped the first chapter as the whole minotour and the mythology bored the feck out of me. Overall i was expecting a little more from Von der Heydte , but its a good edition to the crete adventures.

Any original manuals available? I can't find ANYTHING! What kind of paperwork was used for their training and their regulations? Dienstunterricht in der Luftwaffe has nothing on FJ.
