NAZI FALLSCHIRMJÄGER (PARATROOPER) BOOK
Soldaten fallen vom Himmel

SOLDATEN FALLEN
VOM HIMMEL
(SOLDIERS FALLING FROM THE SKY)

AN EXCELLENT THIRD REICH
BOOK WITH 96 PHOTOGRAPHS
This is a very good example of the 6-1/2 x 9-1/2 inch, very heavily illustrated 112 page book SOLDATEN FALLEN VOM HIMMEL (Soldiers Falling From The Sky) by E.K. Beltzig as published in 1940 by Schützen Verlag in Berlin, Germany.
Third Reich Parachutes German Fallschirmjäger training
The well-written book introduces readers to the concept of parachutes and parachute troops from the time of Leonardo Da Vinci and Garnerins to Leroux and Irwin, to the Third Reich in Germany.
It shows parachutists from several countries (even an aircraft being dropped by parachutes) and then concentrates on the design, manufacture, packing and use of German parachutes.

The book shows and explains German Fallschirmjäger training, from tumbling on a mat through maneuvers with live ammunition. The final pages explain the requirements for becoming a Wehrmacht parachutist and how to volunteer to join Fallschirmjaeger Regiment 1 in Stendal.
4 Nazi Fallschirmjäger
This book is very special in that it was signed on the front flyleaf for the owner (a Fallschirmjäger) by four of his “Braunschweiger Kameraden” at the end of their basic paratrooper training. Three of the four have had the + sign added after their names (Neumüller, Manz and Vogelsinger) indicating that they are deceased.

Great photographs and a wonderful German text.
Very good condition.
This wonderful Nazi Paratrooper book is offered for sale for
$125.00 delivered to any address in the United States.
We will be happy to ship abroad at additional cost. Please inquire.
