This book is an in-depth photographic study of the famed German “Brigade Ramcke” paratroop unit. The story of Ramcke and his élite troops is described here through the soldiers’ recollections: from their formation in Germany, life on the North African front, and their legendary five-day breakthrough behind enemy lines. The book is heavily illustrated with unpublished photographs and documents of the troops, as well as details of their uniforms, vehicles, equipment, and theater made insignia.
