    WP of IR 47 Airdrop on Holland 10.5.40

    Hi all,

    I thought I would post this interesting WP of a member of IR 47 that jumped on Holland in may 1940. My question is, was this a Heer unit that actually jumped ? Or were they landed with gliders ? Any ideas were they landed and fought in Holland ???
    Also I wanted to ask about a medal entry in the WP. Looks like he got a Romanian medal .... "rum. Orden für Mannhaftigkeit und Treue m. Schw. III. Kl." Is this something interesting or common ?
    Further he got the EK 2 and IAB.
    He was later killed near Sewastopol.

    What do you think about the piece.

    Thank you, Jens

          They certainly didn't parachute. I'll check later but it could be one of the units airlifted by Storch.
