The Cowgirl and the Fallschirmjager Thomas Russell

The Fallschirmjäger-elite German paratroopers called the "Green Devils" by the Allied forces-played a pivotal role during World War II. A masterful blend of fiction and fact, The Cowgirl and the Fallschirmjäger recounts the exploits of five of these "Soldiers from the Sky" and their encounter with a young cowgirl from Wyoming traveling to Germany to convince her grandparents to return to America with her. The action is anything but typical as Mary-Bet falls in love with one of the German paratroopers...and finds herself being pursued by an agent of the Gestapo.
