Hello gents,
I found this picture in a german vets publication.
No eagle on the jump smock,Fj boots and a SS mutze.
And probably a SS buckle too.

WOW !!! Is this the single known period photo where soldier wears SS jumping smock?

Some others pics are in this magazine.

These are regular Lufwaffe smocks without the eagle, not SS para smocks.

A Question I have pondered over and could never find the answer - did the FJ SS Btn 500 / 600 wear Luftwaffe FJ Jump qualification badges or Heer badges? I'm guessing Heer but has anyone got a picture or info confirming this?

Thanks Mike

p.p.s. maybe there is a third FJ award badge - only for the SS, wow, what a thought...

I have gotthe same question. I have encountered both badge in wear by SS paratroopers.

For instance here is a Heer one ...

Walter Huemmel is wearing the LW version (in cloth) of the badge in this photo (not army).

I have seen Soldbuch's and documents referencing the FSA d. Heeres for trained SS personnel, but am not sure I have ever seen a photo of it in wear (other than the portrait of Walter Schau, where the badge is painted onto the image). Has anyone ever seen a photo of an SS paratrooper actually wearing the Fallschirmschuetzenabzeichen des Heeres?
