Did you get it from the WW2 in Color site? (which ironically has more B&W pics than color ones) A ton of it's photos are mislabeled. This is definately part of the group that is the tenth mountain div. Same church building thing, same fuzzy jackets. And they are armed which the Paratroopers wouldn't have needed because the war was already over when they got there.
