Xavier,

great pictures. Especially the first one, as it looks like they are going to jump with all their equipment strapped to them, and outside of their jump smocks too.

Kind regards,
Frank.

i don t think that these pics are well known ...
a friend is working in the french army archiv and gave it to me ...
i have an another , THE GREATEST , but i have some problem for resizing

if you are interested , give me a solution . i could send it on the waf but the quality is poor .

also excellent: the 3rd pic with the MP44 and "skijaeger" cap badge - both not so often seen up close and so clear. and the badge at least for me is rare in period pix - and in "person!"

Xavier,

The first two are Excellent photos! Love them FJ pics

The 3rd pic unfortunately...I don't have a good feeling about....too good to be true and has all the makings of a staged reenactor photo. Bill

Verry nice pics .That guy is holding a MP43/1 and has the early rare single flap closure Mag pouch.

LOTHRINGEN any info on where these are and the years,maybe germany or france between 43-44?.And the 3rd dose look real too,if its fake as people say,they did a good job,but why even say its real if fake,to make money and get a laugh.

I hold that opinion also.

The third picture is absolutly an authentic picture which is coming
from ECPA archive.

Be careful you need to pay them if you want to publish it !

This Feldwebel is from the Skijäger-brigade 1 and the picture has been
taken on 4th February 1944 on PRIPRET front.

You will find more pictures from this PK reportage in Militaria Magazine N°130-131.

Sorry it is in French language !

JYN,

I'm sorry but I still believe this photo is a reenactor photo...Militaria Magazine is an excellent mag but rife with Frenchmen reenactor photos wearing original uniforms and equipment. I would like to see the reverse of this photo which should be marked to the archives if in fact it is a ECPA archive photo. I see too many things wrong with this photo.....some clues are with the MP44, Jackboots, painted belt...I've seen thousands and thousands of photos and this one just doesn't add up. Show me proof it came from the archives and I will shut my mouth. Bill

What stikes me odd Jean-Yves is the padded jacket with T/W side out in snow.

Would also like to see the reverse of the photo.
