SS Paratroops Attack describes the organization and operations of the
500th Waffen SS Paratroop Battalion in the Balkans in 1944, especially its
decapitation operation against Tito’s headquarters. The SS paratroops ill-
fated Operation Knights Move was sent against the partisan leaders
hideout with the flimsiest of intelligence information about the enemy forces at
that location. The plan of operations of the 500th Waffen SS Paratroop
Battalion against Tito’s headquarters was mediocre or worst, and drawn up
by a relatively inexperienced Waffen SS captain. SS Paratroops Attack
details the SS Paratroop Assault by the 500th Waffen SS Paratroop
Battalion on Tito’s Headquarters and little known facts about that operation.
SS Paratroops Attack will rivet your attention.

Review Table of Contents
“In 1944, two German special forces regiments were determined to destroy the brain and heart of Tito's forces, namely
his headquarters which included large numbers of personnel, masses of radio equipment, and foreign advisors. Already
the Germans knew that the minimal result of any offensive against enemy headquarters would be great disruption of
guerrilla operations. Such an operation would undoubtedly force the communists to move their major headquarters. This
forced displacement of the enemy heart and brain temporarily halted the flow of orders and instructions to the red
partisans and delayed the concentration of hostile combat formations.
In May 1944, elements of the 1st and 4th Brandenburg Regiments, along with the spearheading 500th SS Paratroop
Battalion, assaulted Marshal Tito's fortified (protected by barbed wire, trench lines, bunkers and minefields) headquarters
in Dvar, Bonia as part of Operation Rosselsprung, Knight's Move. It was the sixth major offensive against the red
partisans in Yugoslavia and it was a decapitation operation dedicated to killing Tito and his main headquarters."
