Fallschirmjäger training

Hello

The training schedule of the German paratroopers was said to be phenomenally tough but I haven't read any detailed description as such and am curious as to what it actually consisted of. For example U.S airborne troops were routinely put through 6 mile runs uphill and downhill and nowadays Britain's Paras are put through grueling 20 mile marches with 35 pound kit.

Do we have any detailed descriptions on print for the German paras? Thanks in advance.
