1st Bn 1st FJR May 1940 Norway or Holland?

Post by JeffF »

I have several books on the Fallschirmjager and notice that this battalion is supposedly in two operations in May 1940, Norway and Holland. 1 Bn/1FJR is listed as providing the parachute companies supporting the invasion of Norway and then three bns (1-3 bns) 1FJR & two bns 2FJR take part in the invasion of the lowlands. Can anyone clarify this please?
