The only reason why I voted for the US airborn is because those men were trained harder, so every soldier could rely on the other.

That doesn't mean the SS wasn't as good as the US airborn. Each SS-devision was better equipped (f.e. tanks, artillery), fought for what they believed was right, and they were also reliable.

I vote for the 1st SS.

They were the most highly trained men in the german army. They were Hitler's body guards along with it. They did commit sever war crimes, but they fought extremely harder than our airborne, IMO.

Our posts are gonna get deleted, but I'm still rolling with this "discussion Googly." There was small remnants of the 501st's jump team at Hell's Corners, including one colonel, they were prettymuch holding there own until another squad (I think, I don't have my sources at hand) came and drove the FJ back. Also, the 501st had to go through the main bulk of the German counter-attack at Bastogne and got out okay, so they earn my vote Shady.

Youre reffering to Hells corner where Bakers long time friend croaks?
To undermine the Germany's Fallschirm, would dishonor every allied soldier who died at the hands of the Elite paratroopers. At the beginning of WW2 the germans had one regiment and 2nd regiment consisting of two battalions. Each regiment was to have 3 battalions when full reserve battalions.
The FJ paratroopers were hardened fighters, but without the Luftwaffe they were finished.
