Hello,
maybe it is worth noting that my book "Die Löwen von Carentan", available through VS-Books, Amazon, etc. will have an almost complete listing of the names you are interested in.

Hello,
since I am the author of bespoken book on FJR6, I recommend to wait another month for the German language version. Heimdal has made some minor mistakes which the German version naturally will not show.

Hello,
sorry to contradict the Doc, but it was "Hänschen Klein".
Look for it at http://www.ingeb.org and you will find all you need.

Hello, maybe one of my points was not clear enough: for a series for which the makers went so much out of their way as to procure the right type of boots for the main characters, it should have been easy enough to look into portraying the methods of fighting of the Germans accurately. Let's face it,...

Hello, I'm not aware of any cross-posting between a Fallschirmjäger-Regiment and HG, but it is quite possible, that a FJ battalion was attached to HG to give an additional punch to the division. The photos of the "mimick jackets" you've seen are likely to be the camouflaged Luftwaffe groun...

Thanks for your help!

It is clear that the 101st paratroopers as protagonist...

Hi Dan,
please send me your list to: [email protected]
Thanks!

Hello, guys, don't worry, BoB is just another flag-waving series which had lots of great potential, but which was blown, because the good guys had to look perfect on screen. The errors and inaccuracies in the book on which the series was based were truly transferred into the episodes, so it cannot b...

Hello, I am not aware of a special "shotgun-jump" model of parachute being used by the German paratroops. Veterans confirm that the jumps on Narvik were made from as low as 80 meters, but that was as low as you could possibly go if you wanted the jump to be safe. What is your exact questio...
