My father fought as a fallschirmjager from '43 to 45. First at Monte Cassino, he told me the Poles were very tough. He got off a train in Normandy on June 9th, and fought his way back through France into Belgium and Holland, then Germany. He was captured 3 times, escaped twice, but the 3rd time was in March '45, just outside of Remagen...he knew the war was over, so didn't try again. Spent a year as a POW in Britain, became good friends there with an American paratrooper, and as a sign of their friendship, they traded their rings... and so my dad wore an American airborne ring from '46 until he died in '07, never once took it off. It's my most prized possession, totally worn, but I can still read "Airborne" and make out the eagle. He fought in St. Lo, Nijmegen, the Bulge, Aachen, Hurtgen Forest and Remagen, earned the Iron Cross 1st and 2nd class, as well as 2 tank kill patches... he'd show me his medals when I was a kid, but they were stolen when we moved to the US. He talked to me quite often about his experiences, but only after he had 3 Seagram Seven Whiskey w/ Canada Dry ginger ales...and he typically only had one in the evenings. He and my mom immigrated to Canada in '50, then to the US in '72. He was a good man, quiet, never bragged, and hated Goebbels with a passion. And he loved my best friend, David Levine. Ortwin Otto Schilling, one of the Green Devils. RIP, dad.
@@NormanSchilling-c1g what a Great story. My father was also in St.Lo 3 rd.Fallshirmjager division. He was so kind and moved to Norway in the 50th and got married here 🙂
Entonces, ¿tendríamos que homenajearlo públicamente? Combatió por y para un régimen declaradamente racista y asesino. Eso es así, cualesquiera fueran las presuntas virtudes personales de tu padre (o cualquier otro combatiente). Harto de este pseudo humanismo que diluye las responsabilidades individuales y colectivas en el curso de la historia.
My father was on of those Green Devils he fought in Russia couple of years...Stalingrad frontier and Leningrad frontier. But before that he took part of the invasion of Crete/Greece he was 18 years old when he jumped over Heraklion 0800 20 mai 1941, he had then been in France 1940 for prep. of the operation Seelöwe that was cancelled. He also jumped on Sicilia summer 1943 and fought there and ended up in Monte Casino Italy. In februar 1944 the went to Reims in France and built a new division the 3rd. Fallschirmjäger and was deployed in Brest for the coming Normandie invasion. He was captured in september 1944 in Normandie by the american and was a prisoner of war in US and UK to 1947.
Are you serious? That is amazing and I really appreciate you sharing your family history! It sounds like your Father was pretty cool about sharing his experiences in the war! I have nothing but respect for the very tough and brave soldiers on both sides of the war. I hope your father is still alive and is willing and able to complete his debriefing of WWII. I would absolutely jump at the chance to sit and listen to you pass on your father’s experiences in WWII. God bless you and your family!
Say what you want to about the Germans in WW2, but those Fallshirmjager were some bad dudes, extremely tough and very skilled fighters. There’s a reason they earned the nickname “The Green Devils” from those who fought them.

An infantryman from the US 99th Division, told me it was like hunting rabbits; the German Paratroopers were so spread out and unable to link up for an organized resistance. Looks like the German commanders were correct: just too few to make a difference.
US and USSR are both people without honour who make up stories. Turn to primary contemporaneous sources to learn history. Never trust US or USSR.

It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage video about lateral and unique paratrooper unit participation in the last offensive Ardennes operation launched by Germany in 1944 .. which was never labeled at that separated paratrooper by European records .that rarely known operation sufficiently introduced by an excellent ( War academy) channel...thanks for sharing

I thought that the 2 battalions that flew in gliders into the Siege of Breslau would be the last operation. Breslau had been surrounded on 12th of January by the Red Armys advance.On the 28th February the 2nd and 3rd Battlions of the 25th Regiment landed in Gliders on a wide road in the centre of the besieged city. breslau fell on the 6th of May.
Napoleon once said, "Italy is a boot and should be entered from the top." I could never understand why the Allies did not use extensive paratroopers in Northern or Central Italy when they invaded the country from Sicily Especially after the successes Germany had during the war. This was a good idea by the Lt.Col to use airborne right before the Battle of the Bulge....it was just handled incorrectly North Korea is similar to Italy, and cutting them off from any escape to China IF or when America/NATO would engage them, and more so, like in this similar jump, the North Koreans would never expect it. GMP
The Allies did consider this for a time, but there weren't enough airborne troops for such an operation and they used the Luftwaffe's highly costly airborne invasion of Crete as an example not to invade by air....it would have been very costly to the Allies, just like Market Garden was.
That is tactical suicide in this day in age. They would be surrounded by China to the north and N.K from the south. That might have worked in the 50's, but you saw what happened when the N.K army was pushed to the Chosin, a million plus China men human wave, it was shear strength in numbers that pushed them back to the 38th parallel.

Muddled objectives, poorly resourced, little time to plan, chaotic chain of command, poor execution due mostly to ground & air transport failures, zero unit cohesion by design. This mission failed before it even began. At least the commander didn't get all his men killed needlessly on the Western Front in a war that was already lost for the naszis.

It's not surprising that German airborne troops had little experience by that time of the war. Airborne is a weapon of offense and Germany had been in a defense mode for several years by December of 1944. Another great video. Thank you so much.
Actually, Hitler decided to never again put these excellent soldiers to wasteful slaughter after the Crete island operation early in the war. So they continued (eg at Monte Casino) without getting airborne
Id have said by that time they were highly experienced elite combat soldiers they might not have had jump training but they were still a relevant elite combat force@@waracademy128

I’ll narrate your videos
It's not surprising that German airborne troops had little experience by that time of the war. Airborne is a weapon of offense and Germany had been in a defense mode for several years by December of 1944. Another great video. Thank you so much.

It was not about experience but numbers, there were hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned by the Allies, still they fought bravely.
Actually, Hitler decided to never again put these excellent soldiers to wasteful slaughter after the Crete island operation early in the war. So they continued (eg at Monte Casino) without getting airborne
Id have said by that time they were highly experienced elite combat soldiers they might not have had jump training but they were still a relevant elite combat force@@waracademy128

Helps me to learn proper spelling and pronunciation of the German language .
The famous phrase from American Airborne “Death From above!” Applies to all Airborne troops but it really means jumping to your OWN Death .
Make a video about Soviet marines. The Germans called them the Black Death for their black uniforms and their fighting prowess.
For goodness sake use the proper german and french pronunciations of the Hiter Jugend Div ision and Cotentin Peninsula. It is not hard, the world is not american.
This channel would be great if it wasn’t AI
Rediculous pronouncement f German words!. And the Falshim Jeager had exeince sinc the war strted!
