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.
Let me check the OP slugs and get back to you Matt. That may have been the place and you're right about mislabels there. I've seen more then a few winners on the German stuff. Some great pics there though.
