There are details of the parachutes, weapons, transport aircraft and a wealth of other detail. The same applies (in lesser detail) to Italian and Japanese airborne forces. The appendix contains the text of a report written after the war by (amongst others) Field Marshal Kesselring and Colonel General Student. This appendix includes an analysis by these officers of allied airborne operations.
