Thank you Uncle Kurt,
Ich habe vor einigen Jahren eine ganzen Karton voller Fotos bekommen,von der Cousine des Falschirmjägers,der leider in Rußland vermißt wurde/wird.
Sind tolle Aufnahmen von Narvik,Frankreich,Kreta und Rußland.
Es waren auch eine ganze Menge Negative dabei,die ich leider in meiner damaligen Unwissenheit abgegeben habe,daher können einige neue Abzüge unterwegs sein.
Damit meine ich nicht Dein Foto,ich weiß das die Kameraden damals Fotos untereinander getauscht und mehrere Abzüge gemacht haben.

What trousers is this guy wearing? are they drill trousers?(ie drill uniform worn when training and maintaining equipment).

[alexandre]

Maybe a drill training pants or an HBT green luft pants...

but this FJ is wearing a tropical side cap, so it's maybe the straight legs type luft tropical trousers...

Country taken?

These type of pictures where taken in germany or where there stationed too like france or italy right and not say in nth africa(tunisia maybe?)where this FJ looks like he could be going.

These type of pictures where taken in germany or where there stationed too like france or italy right mostly and not say in nth africa(tunisia maybe?) where this FJ looks like he could be going.

The pic is printed on Ferrania paper (not used in germany at that time) and looking at the background of the studio - i would say this photo has might been taken in tunis/ afrika.

[Fallschirmjaeger]

Thanks

Thanks Mogdala for the info and yes did think tunisia but then maybe its in italy too somewhere before he left for tunisia/nth africa etc...

Hello Eric,
to this photo I can give you a name.
The guy right side is my grandfather Ferdinand Piasny, Driver in Fallschirm-Pionier-Btln. 1, 1942-1944.
British POW at Cassino after heavily wounded. Return back in 1948 and died 1987. On left side is his best friend - I will look for the name, because I have this PC originally signed by both of them.
