Overview:
After taking the Greek island of Kos, the Küstenjägers set sail in their heavy assault boats to nearby island of Kalymnos, which was also occupied by Badoglio's Italian troops and a few British Commandos. Entering the harbor under a white flag, the German commander, Hauptmann Kuhlmann asked the Italians to surrender. Initially the Italian commander refused, but was persuaded by Kuhlmann to surrender after being informed that an entire German assault division was on its way. The bluff worked and the Küstenjägers, not knowing about the British Commandos, were bivouacked in buildings around the harbor area. That night there was an attack by British Commandos who had hidden on the island during the day. The Commandos tried to overrun the Küstenjägers, but were spotted by a German sentry and the alarm was given. Within minutes the entire Küstenjäger unit was awake and fighting.
