Thanks. I went back and annotated locations. This thread is mostly about my new acquisitions and I post them when I get them...most have no writing on the reverse and I usually post that information when available.

Giday Bill,

Thank you for sharing with us the new photographs that you have purchased.

The Jäger on the left of photo 987 is Ernst Simon. Ernst was a member of the 13th Kompanie of Fallschirmjäger Regiment 1. For more information concerning Ernst I suggest that you check out paes 268 to 272 of Chris Mason's excellent book entitled, "Soldat - Fallschirmjäger".

Best wishes,

Ian

Hello Ian,

It's a pleasure to share my photos on the forum...Cheers!!! I appreciate the info on #987 Ernst Simon. I have most of the Soldat series books signed by Cyrus Lee as we were both members of the Rhein-Neckar Military Historical Society in Germany. The one book I don't have is the Fallschirmjaeger book written by Chris Mason so I will have to pick up a copy some day.

Here are some more pics from my FJRgt1 pics. New Arrival - FJ Rgt 1 Stendal - DEC#23. A few more photos from the Radfahrer training school
