The Red Beret
(1950)The Story of the Parachute Regiment At War, 1940-1945
A non fiction book by Hilary St. George Saunders
They were no ordinary soldiers. Their battlefields were behind enemy lines. They dropped silently from the sky, bringing messages of death and destruction. Lightly armed. unsupported by tanks and heavy artillery, they fought time after time against overwhelming odds - and won. This story is of Arnhem, Brunevel, the Ardennes, Normandy, the crossing of the Rhine. It is the story of the Red Devils, the most heroic band of daredevils any war has ever produced.
