SS paratrooper wearing cloth badge

Here is another interesting photo I thought I would post.

Eric,
Thanks for posting that. Interesting photo of the cloth qualification badge in use, more so that he's also wearing a GAB.
It's the first time I can remember seeing a "para' wearing one.

Great pic Eric! I have seen some late-war FJs wearing for GAB. I have seen several portraits of Pioniere from the 5th FJD around the Ardennes timeframe wearing these too. Some appear in the book by Martin.
