From the late-1800s up to the beginning of World War I some of the<br />
most elegant and colorful regimental steins were produced for Kaiser<br />
Wilhelm II’s cavalry regiments. Each stein portrayed the unique<br />
uniform colors, owner, service dates, and fellow servicemen of the<br />
regiment. <strong>The</strong>se steins represent a time of military fashion that disappeared<br />
during World War I. <strong>The</strong> steins presented in this book are<br />
organized by cavalry service branch, beginning with the heavy cavalries<br />
of Prussia and Saxony, followed by the Hussar and Uhlan (lancer)<br />
regiments, and finishing with representative steins of the Mounted<br />
Rifle (Jäger Zu Pferde) and Dragoon regiments. Each stein is well illustrated<br />
in large color photos. This book provides an accurate collector’s<br />
reference for cavalry regimental steins of the Kaiser’s time.<br />

This book presents in words and images the first operational use<br />
of German paratroopers in the Russian campaign, and also the first<br />
time they served as conventional infantry. Focusing specifically on<br />
the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Fallschirmjäger Regiment, it describes<br />
the horrific weather, and unspeakable living and fighting conditions<br />
endured by these elite soldiers who were deployed in the trenches<br />
near the Neva River in northern Russia. Outnumbered in men<br />
and equipment, they fought bravely and with distinction, never<br />
faltering in their mission. Included with the operational history, are<br />
recollections and reminiscences of surviving veterans.<br />
