About Paratroop

Three mini-games in one package - the Red Devils at Arnhem, the German assault on Eben Emael, and the German airborne invasion of Crete. Eben Emael: Lightning Strikes Belgium - May 1940, is a simulation of the German airborne drop on the Belgian fortress, which paved the way for the German advance through Belgium. The Germans used glider troops and hollow charges to penetrate the steel turrets that dotted the top of the underground fort.
