Fallschirmjäger in Portrait: Studio and Field Portraits of German Paratroops in World War II

A little more than 30,000 men of the Wehrmacht and SS qualified to
wear the famed FallschirmschÃ¼tzenabzeichen, or Paratrooper Badge,
between 1936 and 1944. The badges they wore, and the images of the
men who wore them, are avidly sought by collectors and historians
around the world today. The authors have assembled over 300 indoor
and outdoor posed portrait photographs of the FallschirmjÃ¤ger for
this volume, most never before published, providing a fascinating
representation of the photographer s art in World War II and a superb
study of their uniforms, badges and insignia. In poses ranging from
fierce to thoughtful and even poignant, the German paratroops of
World War II are seen here in perfect focus, as they wanted to be seen,
preserved in deliberate portraiture for posterity.
