Very good, but should be viewed with caution. I read the article on German parachutists, which said they were "Army". Surely German para's were Luftwaffe?

Stated here they where wehrmacht.
The hermann goering division was luftwaffe
Falschrimjager were definitely Lufftewaffe.

If You read the link i put on, you know i meant 'stated they were luftwaffe'
I messed it up =)
Only case of other type fallschirmjaeger i know, are the SS parachute battallion (i think as information is kind of scarce on them)

They're a great read though. Always interesting to see the comtemporary mind.
I have to agree with fsn. Contemporary information, especially in wartime, can be very wide of the mark. I once bought Janes' Fighting Ships for 1914 thinking I'd get all the info on current dreadnoughts. Stupid boy.... :-[
Not that these account aren't valuable - they'd form an excellent briefing for a campaign. "This is what we know, chaps...."
Very useful site so bookmarked for future reference :).
