Herlé,

Outstanding photo of the DKiG being worn on the camo smock. Any idea who the man is?

Bill,

Just killer photos of the maneuver bands being worn on the ealy clip covers.
Fantastic. I have seen very few photos of this.

Here are a couple more from me. This is a kind of nice shot of the first model
"double snap" bandoleer being worn with the first model M36 smock.

Hello Guil,
I too would like to welcome you to this thread. Excellent photo of General Schlemm in what appears to be a just finished RK award ceremony I also like the mixture of helmets and variety of camo'd FJ helmets. This appears to be a photo taken in France is that correct? - Bill

Eric,

Thanks for the comments on the maneuver/training photos. Your early FJ photo is also a rarity I have nothing to compare it with in my collection also another outstanding portrait photo - Bill

I'm really enjoying all of these seldom seen photos coming out into the open..it makes me think how much more is out there in private collections. I must admiit I have barely begun to have shown all of my photos in my collection. It appears that this may go on for quite some time if many of you keep contributing and sharing your photos...so thank you for sharing!!! - Bill

Here is a few more pics...on parade

[W Petz]

hurry up and wait

[C.Whitey]

Holy Cow! You guys are posting some AWESOME photos! I only own 3 and Eric has been kind enough to post them for me. Thanks again. I have only been collecting for 6 months or so but hope someday to have a collection to "Shock & Awe".
The ones I have, I bought off Ebay but they are very far and few between. Never as many as I'd like. Where does one acquire so many great photos? How long have you guys been collecting? "Airborne"

CW,

I wish you success in shocking in aweing us all in the future!! I started collecting photos about 17 years ago while stationed in Germany. I managed to amass a good amount of photos by frequenting flea markets, small military shows and through friends and FJ veterans during my 16 years in Germany. I'm glad I did because prices have gone through the roof....even for just one FJ photo today and I had bought groupings and photo albums in the past for next to nothing.

Guil,

I could only make out tops of trees in that photo so it was hard to tell the location. Thanks for furnishing that info and sharing the photo!! Bill

Here is nice photo of some FJ motorcyclists along with several Kettenkrads.

[W Petz]

Hello Guil, Sorry all that is written on the reverse is parade and no indication of where that parade is located. Bill

Here is a photo of FJ on one marches through villages

[Yannis]

Hi everyone.

Bill, your parade photo is truly awesome! It's like one can actually see them moving in front of him and hear the sound of them marching!! Very impressive!

Hello Yannis,

Yes, can you imagine how loud & impressive it must have been...they are not wearing their jump boots...they are wearing their jackboots with hobnails and in addition goose stepping instead of the normal march step.

Here's a nice pic of FJ's boarding a JU52
