Hi, Jilga

It seems to be an HBT backed eagle but not subdued ?

I don't have much of the paratroopers, but also beautiful.

Meant to post these yesterday as it was May 20th, the anniversary.

Both these Fallschirmjäger were NCOs in the Sturm Rgt., both jumped on Crete. Both also fought in Africa, they knew each other and were friends. Haug was also a team leader during the assault on Eben Emael. Richard Berg, on the left, was also a personal friend of Hans-Ulrich Rudel.

Richard Berg's personal gas mask. Both the mask and filter are dated 1940.

Erwin Haug's Kretaschild.

How did he get to keep his gasmask ? Was he invalided out ?

[John Hodgin]

After Crete he sent it home to his parents. 😁 Do not know if he was without one in Africa or took another mask.

Excellent, very interesting items, thanks for showing them John.
