    Hi
    I have recently read Patrick Delaforce's book about the British 11th armoured division. Anyway he mentions in 1945 after the German surrender that the 8th parachute regiment were used against some SS units that refused to surrender i wondered if anyone had anymore info on this or know of any webistes that mention it.
    Cheers

    I have read that fallschirmjager feldgendarmes did deploy to round up ss troops who refused to surrender in some cases small pitched battles did result the one i have read resulted in 40 dead ss troops and several dead fallschirmjager
