German Kubelwagen Type 82
After the 1941 assault on
Crete, elite German parachute units were formed into a brigade. The
parachute unit, know as the "Ramcke Parachute Brigade" was created to
lead assaults in North Africa against Allied forces and counter act the
British SAS units attack. The brigade was heavily involved in the
Second Battle of El Alamein, the attack on Stirling's Special Air
Service, and DAK's assault of the Suez Canal. In 1943, at Tunisia, the
Ramcke brigade saw its last battle and was forced to surrender to
British forces.
