Fall Gertrude – Axis Order of Battle

Added corps troops, with Army command retaining control of some assets, including the parachute division.  The Italians provide a weak “division” to be used for rear area security (RAS).  The weak German 52nd Corps, really a reinforced division, will perform RAS and airfield construction duties.
