Eric Queen's New Fallschirmjager Book

[Hauptmann]

Eric,
You have put together a fantastic book!!! So little has been written about the Wehrmacht's Fallschirmjagers, and you have filled that void! Thank you, thank you, & oh, yeah, Thank you!

I ordered your book this week, look forward to receiving it.

Maybe you have mentioned this before but, where did the title of the book come from.

Thanks, Matt

The song silly..... .

"Red Shines the Sun" is the title of the FJ song...."Rot scheint die Sonne"

Thanks Willi

Erich,

Thanks for the kind words concerning the book. I appreciate it. If any questions at all please let me know.

Willi is certainly correct regarding the title. In addition to "Rot scheint die Sonne" the FIK also had their own song but the intro verse "We don't wear ribbons or medals...." wasn't quite as catchy, so we went with "Red shines the Sun"

Hope you enjoy it Matt, thanks for the support.

GREAT BOOK

I just got through reading Eric's book and found it to be a well written and researched book. It will go down as one of the books that improvement on will be near impossible. I also received book number 11. Great book Eric.
