The sudden and dramatic appearance of German paratroops brought a new and unexpected dimension to the nature of warfare during the Second World War. These new warriors of the air, the Fallschirmjager, were to make critical contributions to some of the most famous battles of the conflict.

An enduring legend was created thanks to the Fallschirmjager's dogged defence of Monte Cassino and successful invasions of Crete and Norway.

With the use of computer graphics and rare archive footage, this DVD pays homage to a remarkable fighting force. Narrated by Richard Clegg.
