Why a Parachute Panzer-Division?

In this video Dr. Magnus Pahl from the MHM Dresden and I talk about the Fallschirm-Panzer-Division Hermann Göring (Parachute Tank Division), the reason and idea behind it. Why it was raised and what its objectives were.

I always appreciate your use of experts in your videos, Bernhard. They bring their own perspectives, and the benefit of their specialized research into areas that are pretty much unknown to most of the community. I had initially thought that you were going to talk about an airborne tank division, but I don't know if the Germans even had any vehicles that could be safely air dropped (certainly not the JagdPanther!). It is interesting to think about what Student might have accomplished if he had been allowed to concentrate the Falschirmjager and use them as a whole, unified unit, rather than piecemeal, as was done after Crete. Thanks very much for this contribution to my knowledge about the Falschirmjager!
