Just a little question,

I'm reading James Lucas' Storming Eagles, a book about the german paratrooper and he tells that the german had held their position with the 1st Para Diision backed by a few battalions of Jaeger regiments on the Adriatic side of Italy.
Was it the battle of Ortona?

Cheers,
Rob

fallschimjeagers used a automatic rifle called the FG42, it could be either semi or full auto and could have a scope on it. [img]www.fjr1.com/weapons/fg42.jpg[/img]
here is a website where you can find out more about the fallschimjeagers.

well no, Orsogna was engaged by 78th British.

But FJ defended Ortona against 1st Can.

8th Inf was in same area also. But mostly engaged vs 90.PzGD.
