Description: HITLER'S PARATROOPERS IN NORMANDY:The German II Parachute Corps in the Battle for France, 1944 By Gilberto Villahermosa<><><><> A retired U.S. Army Master Parachutist, strategist, and military historian analyzes the actionsof one German special forces group during World War II. In June 1944, Allied forces fighting desperately to establish a foothold in Normandy and then breakout of the confining bocage found themselves opposed by a bewildering array offormations of the German Wehrmacht. Among them were the newly formed German II Parachute Corps. This gripping new account examines the exploits of Germany’s II Parachute Corps and itscommander, Eugen Meindl, from the Allied invasion on June 6 to the end of August 1944. Meindl was the epitome of the senior German airborne commander in the Second World War.Tough, experienced, and aggressive, he cared deeply for his troops. His Parachute Corpsfought stubbornly for three weeks, before being forced to fall back. Trapped along with the bulk of the German Seventh Army in the Falaise pocket, Meindland his paratroopers maintained their discipline and were selected by the Commander in Chiefof OB West to lead the German breakout to the east. That they managed to do so, despite suffering grievous losses, while so many aroundthem died or surrendered, is a testament to their dedication and fighting ability.
