Fallschirmjäger unit ID

[micsam]

These photos were in a newly-acquired photoalbum of Fallschirmjäger photographs. Any ideas as to the unit and any recognized faces? Other photos depict the unit in Belgium. I will post more if there is any interest.
Thank you.

They aren't wearing anything to say that they are paras, that is, they are not wearing jump smocks or para helmets.

The standard looks dark, so possibly red for a Flak unit.

Some more photos from the same album. Definitely Fallschirmjäger.... perhaps the other photos were a later assignment.
