Wehrpass 3rd FJ Division, St. Lô

[PerMilitaria]

Thanks Nick for the info of FJR9!

Since the Battle of Normandy is my biggest interest, this Wehrpass is a great piece in my collection!

Can someone look back at my post 5100227 and tell me if he was Jump qualified? Thanks!

No he wasn't.

Ok! Thanks for the help!

Accordingly to the "Deutsche Telefonbuch" there is one Franz Weber in the region where one of the photos in this lot were taken. I have now written a letter, explaining why I am writing to him and some information about me and this Franz. Wish me good luck!

@Erwin and PerMilitaria; thanks, your welcome.

Looks like the Regiment had a bad day on the 11th....

Sure : the americans of 2d US ID attack hardly this day, after terrific artillery fire.
Capture of "Hill 192" was the condition to advance to St. Lô, after one month of bloody "hedges war".
