                    document from the unit listing his personal belongings which were sent back to the family. The group also consists of some Feldpost and other correspondence.

                      Very nice.

                      The Sniper training entry is indeed an unquestionable period entry.

                        There is no connection with GJR 98 or 99. Res.Geb.Jäger.Btl.99 and Res.Geb.Jäger Btl. II./98 were seperate units in themselves. Training units that were sent to France (hence the sniper training in that country) as GJ Ers. Btl.99 provided replacements for the 4 Geb.Div. that's why we see the rather strange ad-hoc march company unit designation

                              Wow! Heeger was almost next door to where I lived. Could have jogged there.
