FJ Soldbuch

[Si1964]

Dear All,
I have been offered this SB for a late war FJ. There seems to be a few suspect entries in this item, your thoughts will be appreciated. If you need any more scans please let me know.

Thanks

Simon,

Can you post a larger scan of the Feldpost number on page 11?

Ta, Ian

Hi Ian,

I have tried to enlarge it and put a negative on it, if this is no good I will try and take a photo of it.

Thanks

FP No. 61101 belonged to Stab u. 1.-5. Kompanie Fallschirm-Feldersatz-Bataillon 3 from 16.12.1944.

Can not quite make out the Kompanie but the letter would be as follows:

A - Bataillon Stab
B - 1 Kp.
C - 2 Kp.
D - 3 Kp.
E - 4 Kp.
F - 5 Kp.

Not sure about the Fl. (Fj.?) Bataillon "Schimpf" but no doubt named after the Division commander Generalleutnant Richard Schimpf RK, as commander of the 3 Fallschirm Division.

Could even be his PoW unit!?

Although the writing does look a bit funny and perhaps not genuine...the entries do correspond with 3 Fj.Div.

In my opinion - the book itself looks fine, aging, ect. HOWEVER - the script looks modern. If it is a reproduciton someone took a lot of time to make the stamps.

Ian thanks for your help and Erich your comments, what do you think about the photo, the plack corresponds with his number in his Sb, have you ever seen one like that before??

[Ian Jewison]

Yes I have seen photos like that...I seem to think all were late war, however not sure off the top of my head, however there is no problem with it!

Soldbuch photo

Hi
I know this photo is not directly a Fallschirmjäger Soldbuch photo, but I have seen this type of photos used by the Waffen SS.

strange that the rank is FJ Flieger?
normaly this must be Jäger, no?
with the contact name FJ infront that and the j is different than on page one?

I think it's suspicius, if it's original, then there is messed with in my opinion
