OCTOBER BATTLE DATE CHANGED TO OCTOBER 24TH-26TH, 2025
2. Fallschirmjager Division (2Fjr) was formed in 1943 and saw service in France, Italy and Ukraine. It suffered losses while fighting the Soviets at the start of 1944 and was returned to Germany for refit, after which it was sent to garrison in northern France.
Stationed in Carentan, it engaged US paratroopers that landed in the area during the Allied invasion of Normandy and saw heavy action in defense of Saint-Lô. Part of 2Fjr was caught in the Falaise Gap and destroyed, and later elements were cut off at Brest and lost.
