As the remainder of the 2nd Parachute Battalion made its way to the British perimeter, German units were responding to the threat. One such unit, Kampfgruppe Euling from SS-Panzer Division 10 had moved into position just west of the ramp. From the bell tower of a small church, the SS were observing the British movements. Aware that much more than a small detachment was already in place – as evidenced by Captain Graebner’s demise – Captain Knaust ordered the position immediately reinforced. British patrols had discovered the strongpoint, however, and Colonel Frost dispatched the men of the 3rd Platoon, reinforced with men from 250th Company of the Royal Army Service Corps and a handful of glider pilots, to reduce the German position.
