Italeri 1/72 WWII German Paratroopers Plastic Model Kit

6045

German Paratroopers

The “Fallschirmjäger” were, during the war, merged in the fighting bodies of

the Luftwaffe for a better coordination with the air forces. The conquest of

Crete during operation Merkur, in May 1941, was one of the biggest successes of

German paratroopers. But the casualties were so high that their use was often

limited to an elite infantry role more than as airborne troops. In March 1944,

General Kurt Student’s 1st Division Fallschirmjäger, holding their ground among

the ruins of the Monastery of Montecassino, strenuously resisted the advancing

Allies. Their resistance was so fierce that they were nicknamed the “Green

Devils”.
