Bolt Action | German Fallschirmjager Support Group | 28mm Metal Unit

Suffering heavy casualties during the assault on Crete in Operation Mercury, Adolf Hitler forbade further airdrops by German airborne troops. The Fallschirmjäger, instead, served as elite infantry across all theatres where Germany fought. Supported by the deadly MG42 general-purpose machine gun and the Granatwerfer 34 8cm medium mortar, these troops were respected by the Allies for their fighting ability and honourable actions.
