Who says we're putting Paratroopers down in England? Today we are figuring out what we are capable of.

What we have is a division sized group of elite and highly motivated soldiers who have proven themselves. I'm with Kurt, the weakest part of the airborne is the transport. If the opportunity arrises we should push for better transport aricraft,the Ju-52 began service in 1932, it's outdated. Our troops are trained to fight as a group and are among the best in the German Army.

The weapons are standards of the German Army. The only weapon that was unique to the Fallschirmjager was the FJ42 which only saw limited production, it was a light machine gun comparable to the BAR. Not as heavy as an MG34 or MG42, but capable of delivering signifigant fire power. This is also a must. A 9lbs gun is better than a 24lbs gun when moving about behind enemy lines. Something similar to the FJ42 should be lobbied for as early as possible.
