Non German/Italian Airborne Units

16 Hungarian paratroopers died at the crash of Veszprém, not 23. BTW it was a Battliaon at this time, not a Regiment (the Regiment was formed later)

Thanks for the correction!

You know, there are many errors in the different publications. At the crash, 16 paratroopers died with 4 crewmembers of the aircraft. 2 paratroopers killed in action on the next day against the yugoslav military and paramilitary troops and their names were mentioned in the block with the ones, who died at the crash (but it not means, that they died in the accident) BTW one of them was on the plane, when it crashed, he escaped without any injury, but was killed on the next day - a bit strange story.

Interesting photo, this photo is also in the Osprey book "Axis Forces in Yugoslavia 1941-45". The men seems to be wearing the German Paratrooper Badge.
