Storming Eagles: German Airborne Forces in World War II (2001) By James Lucas
 
The daring, courage and skill of the highly-trained men who spearheaded German assaults in the blitzkrieg of 1940, dropping from the air to seize and overwhelm key invasion points, showed to an alarmed world that a new dimension had been added to the science of warfare. The German paratroopers' most spectacular success was the invasion and capture of Crete in May 1941. In this study, historian James Lucas researches deep into Allied and German archives and interviews many of the leading members of the Fallschirmjaeger units and formations who survived the war. The result is a dramatic account of the elite German airborne forces of World War II.
