    Jäger Regiment 199 informations

    I recently bought an EM on the E-stand for 10/JR 199 which i suppose refers to Jäger Regiment 199. I tried to retrieve some infor from Die Lexikon der Wehrmact but i didn't find anything. Anyone may help with basic informations on this unit and where it was deployed? Thanks in advance

    A "J" in many cases more than likely is a capital "I", so your EM would be 10 Kompanie, Infanterie Regiment 199.

      Hi Ian,

      your suggestion makes sense, but i'm posting the EM for further evaluation, because to me it still looks like a J rather than a capital I.

        A "J" was stamped on it if you want but it is actually a capital "I"......there was no Jaeger Regiment 199.

        That is how it is written also....I get letters to "Jan" when my name is "Ian"!!!

          Ian you're right!
          I checked some EM from Infantry units I have in my collection and the J is the same, the only difference is that they have the full writing Jnf instead of the single J.
          Thanks for your help

            Obviously no intention of plugging the sellers wehrpass , but here is the same regiment but different company in a wehrpass showing the "J" which is an "I"

            Cheers

              do you realise that is quite a special unit. 199 I.R was the the Adolf Hitler traditions unit LIST up until 1944.

              One of the famous wehrmacht units.

                Hello

                In the erkennungsmarken abbreviations the J stands for Infanterie.

                The "great" I is blocked for the Wehrkreise and Luftgaue.



                Best regards
