I know this is going to sound dumb coming from me , but was the Herman goring division luftwaffe? What was their role? Was it the paratroopers? I am drawing a blank and being stubborn about googling.
Anyway, keep up the good work :)

Herman Goring Panzer Division Known as the Herman Goring Division
Originally a small police battalion organized by the then Secretary of Interior, Herman Goring, this unit quickly grew in size to a regiment. The primary function of the regiment at the beginning of the war was a flak unit and later it developed into an armored unit. Its designation became Fallschrimjager PanzerKorps Herman Goring, which translates to a puzzling name of "Parachutist Armor Corps". Here is a short history.
In February 1933, Hermann Goring as Minister of Interior created the Police Battalion Wecke. By 1935 it had become the "General Goring State Police Group" and began to adapt military training. This resulted in it being assigned to the Luftwaffe as the "General Goring Regiment". By 1938 the role of the regiment consisted primarily of flak batteries and searchlight battalions but still retained a motorcycle company and a guard battalion. These special guards were used at Goring's forrest estate at Karinhall and on special occasions such as Air Force day and Richtohofen's Memorial parades.
In 1936, General Goring selected 36 soliders to perform a parachute demonstration jump. From this, 600 recruits were selected to go through training and were the first German paratroopers. On 1 July 1938, General Kurt Student organized the "Fallshirmtruppe" into the "7th Aviation Division" in order to conceal their true purpose. The Hermann Goring Regiment was reorganized on 1 October 1939 to include a Parachute Rifle Battalion ("Fallschrimschutze"), which was later absorbed into the Luftwaffe's 1st Parachute Regiment and called "Fallschirmjager". That was the only time the Herman Goring troops were used as paratroopers, EVEN THOUGH they retained the term "Fallschrim" in their title.
One battalion formed from the flak units became the Fuhrer Flak Battalion. This battalion was first used as as a special train escort on the Fuhrer's trip to Poland and as flak protection at his "Wolf's Lair" in E. Prussia. Later, it was organized into a regiment and eventually became the Fuhrer Escort Division.
At the outbreak of war the HG Regiment fought in Poland. Reorganized into the HG Division, they were sent to Italy for about one year. On 6 January, 1944, the division was renamed "Fallschirm Panzer Division Hermann Goring" that consisted of panzer, armored artillery and infantry battalions. They were sent back to Poland and fought in the battle of Warsaw in August 1944. They served in Russia with the XXXIX Panzer Corps and at Fortress Graudenz in February 1945. During the fighting in Russia, the Henrich Goring, the nephew of the Reichsmarshall, was killed in action.
The statistics indicate that 60,000 soldiers served with the HG Division during its life-span.
After the surrender in 1945, only 15,000 survivors remained. An estimated 90% of the soldiers who fought on the Eastern Front were casualties.

Sorry to drag up an old post, but I was wondering if anyone else has had any luck in finding this particular skin? I've gone through just about every download site I could find and come up empty, I did find some of Zoring's work, but sadly it seems he never hosted this one anywhere else. :(
