There is a book entirely devoted to the Croatian Paratroopers of WW2. Also they had their own qaulification badge which has become quite expensive.

The book "Axis Slovakia" from Axis Europa has a small section on the Slovak paratroop company. It seems to have been planned as a sabotage unit. Willi.
