Around 300 men from GJR 136, 137 & 138 were sent through an excellerated 10 day jump course at Wittstock jump school and jumped to reenforce paratroopers in the Narvik and Tromoso sectors of Norway in late May of 1940. Even though it was an abreviated verson of the jump course, the men who went through it were given the ( Luftwaffe ) jump badge. This is a photo of one of them.
