Here is a recent arrival. The pic is of Fallschirmjaeger Uffz Otto Jaeger who was captured 3 Sep 1944 and spent the next four years in various POW Camps in France, USA and Germany. I posted this photo and some POW documents on one of my other threads on POW's.

What Unit?

So was he captured around northern france or belgium or maybe the falaise area,so would he be from the 3rd FJ div or 5th FJ div maybe or even the 6th FJ div,or 6th FG regt?,thanks.

[W Petz]

Exact location of capture is unknown location of POW Camp was Mabeuge, France. Exact unit is unknown although on the documents it is mentioned that he was in a Paratroop training unit or Lehr unit.
