GERMAN FALLSCHIRMJAGER IN TYPE 1 & 2 SMOCKS (Operation ‘Granite’ Against Eben Emael 1940) Operation ‘Granite’ was the most daring of all the early war operations using Paratroops. The ‘impregnable’ fortress of Eben Emael guarded the Dutch-Belgium frontier, which the Germans had to cross for the assault across Europe. In the fortress were 2000 experienced troops manning and defending the Guns ranged-in on the surrounding area. Specially trained German Fallschirmjager used a mixture of weapons all designed for the destruction of casements. |
