Hello to all ; more..........................................
Fallschirmjäger - La 7. Flieger Division goes east - 1941.
After the huge losses suffered in Crete, the 7th Flieger Division was ordered to return to its bases in Germany to rest and reorganize. This rest did not last long however. At the end of September 1941, parts of the division were mobilized, ready to be sent east to fight as conventional infantry. It was on the Neva River that the first units of Fallschirmjäger (paratroop hunters) saw action on the Eastern Front.
