It is a para from 15./Regt Brandenburg, taken on 17 October 1943 on Levitha (the German Kos and Leros operations). CO was Olt Schatz. A part of 15./-was airliftet in 2 Ju52 seaplanes and landed with rubber dinghies. The only Geman death were a para who capsized with his boat because they were overloaded with ammonitions. The Italians on that island surrendered instantly.
