520459 - FROM THE FRYING PAN TO MITTERSILL - FOX COMPANY, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment 1942-1945

By LTC Jos Groen MSc, Fox Company, 502nd PIR, 101st Airborne Division "Screaming Eagle"

During WWII, the paratroopers of Fox Company took part in three of the main campaigns in Western Europe: D-Day, Market Garden, and the Battle of the Bulge. Their efforts and sacrifices ultimately helped crush the armed forces of Nazi Germany. This book will give you an astonishing insight into the characters of these highly trained WWII paratroopers who fought so gallantly during this war.  The historical narrative of Fox Company is based on numerous resources that have never been published before, which makes these stories and the company’s combat record unique. These are the untold stories of the men who saw the war up close and personal. Their accounts show the whole gamut of emotions a combat soldier experiences: from his fears, suffering and the anxiety of engaging with the enemy, to the humour, comradeship in despair and mutual bonds. The unique pictures that accompany the written words will leave a lasting impression on you.
