Command Decision: Test of Battle – In the Clutches of Eagles (2010)

Overview

In the Clutches of Eagles

In 1940 Germany stunned the world with its far reaching strikes behind enemy lines. The tools of this new style of warfare: the men of the 7th Flieger Division. The Fallschirmjäger would participate on every major front of the war, from hot African deserts to the snowy wastes of Russia. The Fallschirmjäger, like their Allied counterparts, would be known for their excellent training, courage, and morale.

This book follows the Fallschirmjäger as they grow from a small, battalion size force in the pre-war years, expanding in size to a single division, and then eventually expanding into their full strength in 1944.
