WWII Green Devils, 1933-1945: German Paratrooper Elite (2-DVD)

First seeing action during the invasion of Denmark and Norway in April, 1940 - the Green Devils were the 'fallschirmjaeger' or paratrooper arm of the Luftwaffe and were to see extensive service in both air-drop and ground roles, through to the war's end in 1945. The first paratrooper unit was raised in 1935 following the profound impression made upon the Germans by the early experiments with this new form of warfare conducted by the Soviets. - The programs bundled together at a fraction of their original separate retail price ($29.90).- Created from actual World War 2 documentary footage, a more reliable source that unrealistic dramatic reconstructions.- Artsmagic has an extensive back catalogue of World War 2 documentaries, and this series has been one of its best selling.- The Green Devils were an important part of WW2, but have been largely overlooked in historical documentaries, these programs will rectify this mistake.
