British paratroopers and German Fallschirmjäger clashed repeatedly and their training, tactics, experience, morale and weaponry were tested against each other, not least in the three bruising encounters outlined here, in Tunisia and Sicily.From the British attempts to seize the airfields at Depienne and Oudna to the bloody night battle for Green Hill and the bitter struggle for Primosole Bridge in Sicily, this book explores the ways in which highly trained parachute troops clashed with their opposite numbers, gaining experience, refining tactics and learning valuable lessons.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 8mmItem Weight: 305gAuthor: David GreentreeIllustrator: Johnny ShumateContributor: Johnny Shumate (Illustrated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: History, Military HistoryBook Series: CombatRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
