1. Fallschirmjäger

 is a German Mechanized division in Steel Division II Nemesis Division series. The pioneer of all German airborne division, 1. Fallschirmjäger was at the forefront of the Blitzkrieg campaigns of 1939-1941 … until decimated in Crete. Relegated to a mere infantry role from then, it proved its mettle again in Italy, boldly holding the town of Ortona for days in 1943, the Monte Cassino monastery for months in 1944, in the face of overwhelming odds.

By the time of the battle of Rimini, 1.FJ was reduced to barely half its strength, but its infantry had been reinforced with some well-equipped yet green Grenadier & Turkmen Ost-Legionäre. A dozen Tiger E were all the tank support it got, but it received ample anti-tank reinforcements, in the form of PaK 43 and a handful Nashorn & Jagdpanzer IV. Taking advantage of the defense from the Rimini airfield, 1.FJ makes up for the average Luftwaffe support with a good AA artillery.

A very solid battlegroup in defense, 1.FJ lacks offensive capacities but if the fighting takes place in a densely urban or wooden area.
