The Ramcke Fallschirmjager Brigade was originally formed for the invasion of Malta that was cancelled so they were sent to North Africa to reinforce Rommel. During the German retreat at El Alamein the brigade was left behind and some how managed to escape a trap. They headed west and captured a British supply convoy carrying water, fuel, food and cigarettes. After 200 miles they found the rest of the DAK. They fought the final battles of the desert war in Tunisia before surrendering in May 1943.
