FJ training in Italy for «C3»

[jwsleser]

I have been struggling to identify the FJ units that were training in Italy for «C3» in April-June 42. Several Italian sources state that there were joint training exercises in Apr-June 42.

All the sources I have access to state the FJ units were everywhere else except Italy. The Lexicon der Wehrmacht doesn't list any FJ units in Italy at this time. I know Ramcke took a team with him to work with the 1º div. paracadutisti, but the accounts indicate a larger unit.

I suspect that the units were elements of the 5 FJ Regiment OR the various Italian sources are wrong and no FJ units actually trained in Italy. I don't believe the latter is correct.

Any thoughts?

Grazie!
