    Monte Cassino RK trager

    I am trying to find out whether Heinz Meier was the only Knights cross to be awarded at Monte Cassino to a fallschirmjager. If possible does anyone have a portrait of him? If there where other please inform me. Bear in mind I am not a FJ collector so my knowledge here is limited. Any assistance would be highly appretiated. Jacques (I did use the search button , but with no success.)

        Phil, thank you for the reply. I assume he was the only one to receive for actions during the various battles for Cassino? Where there are FJ's involved in the Cassino battle that received RK's before then. Jacques
