Descriptionof British Paratrooper 1940-45
Manufacturer

Inspired by the exploits of the German Fallschirmjäger in the "Blitzkrieg "campaigns, Winston Churchill called for the formation of a
5000-strong Airborne Force in June 1940. From these beginnings The Parachute Regiment became one of the foremost units of
the British Army both in World War II and up to the present day. This new history of the British Paratrooper, from 1940 to 1945,
details the unique training, weapons and equipment used by these elite troops. A wealth of first-hand and until now unpublished
materials brings the history of the ordinary paratrooper to life, drawing on the authors position as a former curator of the
Regimental Museum. Illustrations and photographs illuminate the equipment and combat performance of the elite "Paras" in the
context of some of the most significant campaigns of World War II, including D-Day and Operation "Market-Garden".
