Daedalus Returned: Baron von der Heydte paratrooper memoir

This is one of the few memoirs ever written by a former German paratrooper. The Baron was in command of a battalion of paratroopers in Crete, being dropped at zero hour near Canea and seven days later received the surrender of the town. This book is the full exciting account of preparation, landing and seven days of terrifying battle.
This is an excellent read and the Baron has a flair with the pen. Captured in 1945 in the Ardennes he became, after the war, a professor of law at the University of Wurzburg. This book does have a small photo section.

Only 1,000 copies printed, bound in full cloth using an exact copy of original dust jacket published originally in 1958.
