You might be interested to read German historian, Magnus Pahl’s work on this, who argues they were more an elite PR story than an elite force. I once interviewed a Fallschirmjaegar who had 6 weeks’ training. And that was it.

Just listening to The Rest Is History - and want to make clear I would NEVER EVER refer to the SS as a ‘crack squad of elite troops’ Tom Holland & Dominic Sandbrook Fanatical, yes, well equipped, yes, but that’s as far as it goes.

My review an incredibly impressive book about the war trial of the Japanese leaders in 1946-48. Everyone should read this. ⁦We Have Ways of Making You Talk⁩ telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fict…
