I wasn't being sarcastic I was being factual: I have no clue what I'm looking at [:'(] Those hats look like Jap ones. A symbol is clearly visible, I got no idea what it might be [:o]

The cap badge looks like some sort of stylised Edelweiss, the symbol of the German mountain troops. Also, you can look at the corrugated metal on the wall in the background; classic Ju-52 (aka Tante Ju).

This is what was listed as the invasion force

Fallschirmjager

Fliegerkorps consisted of:
7th. Air Division
22nd. Air Landing Division
5th. Mountain Division

Hope I spelled the first two correctly.

You did. In German, it would be:

7th Fliegerdivision (the precursor to the regular Fallschirmjägerdivisionen of later years)
22nd Luftlandedivision (regular army div with special training for air landing ops)
5th Gebirgsjägerdivision

JU-52, it is[:)]

Gebirgsjäger, it is[:)]

5th Gebirgsjägerdivision almost certainly so, though image source does not spicifiacly say so.
