Hello! Looking for information about history of this unit. I was lucky to found out some details like participation in batle for North Africa under command of major Burckhardt. But "before and after" history still bad known for me.
1. When and where this unit was formed? What was an origin for forming this unit? ( As far as I know it was I/FJR 3 dispatched from regiment?)
2. Who was initial commander of the unit: Hptm. Frhr. v.d Heydte or Major Burckhardt?
3. Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 7 was formed in the Vannes/Bretagne area in February 1943.The Fallschirmjäger-Lehr-Bataillon became I/FJR 7. How is this possible if the unit surrendered to English troops in North Africa?
4. During the Grand Sasso raid it was this unit under command of major Mors?
Any help will be strongly appreciated!
Cheers,
Pimpf
