Customer Reviews
not bad, but a little bit boring, with average colour plates - Rated Well, it is not a bad book, but I had some problems to read it all and I admit that I skipped some bits here and there. This is not something I usually do, especially in Osprey Campaign books which are short (96 pages) par principle. But this time I really had to. And when I tried to read it again a couple of moths later, well, I got the same result. So what is the problem? I would say that the writing is somehow "uninspired" - even boring by moments. The description of the battle is a little bit confused, and the maps are average - it is not always easy to follow the events. The colour plates are not bad, but the style is not so much about details - I would say it is rather more "impressionist" by moments. Not my favourite, but this is a question of taste. Pity also that the plates didn't show some quite unique weapons used by the Fallschirmjager - like the recoiless rifles or heavy 28 mm antitank rifles with conical tube. All in all, it is not so bad, but still this book could be better - especially considering the unique character of the battle described. crete 1941 (campaign series) - Rated tries best to cover an important military innovation no one of the best in this series
