Why don't you start your own thread on the areas you are interested in such as the Reichwald or other battles you are interested instead of having it buried in this thread where people might not see it and be able to comment on it.

On the thread for the reichswald,i did some time ago,maybe last year and meaning to bring it back to ask about more pictures etc...,thanks again for showing all these FJ pictures too Bill.
On these latest pictures too of the parade,is it near the coast or sea port like hamburg,bremen,bremerhaven seeing the kreigsmarine commander and officers in it.Also see other FJ officers or either other luftwaffe branches and heer,and the local i think gauiliter?.Who is the main FJ commander or the unit if you know too?,thanks.Last edited by Fallschirmjaeger; 12-11-2007, 08:15 PM.

Hi Bill,
just wanted to say thanks for posting all the photos that you do. I just started focusing on German paratroops about year ago (after researching/collecting US paratroops for 20 years or so) and want to say that your sharing has helped my knowledge take leaps and bounds about everyday life, uniforms, equipment, etc. of Fallschirmtruppen.
Thanks again, Jeff

Jeff,
I'm happy that you have enjoyed the photos that I have posted on the forum and that you have gleaned some knowledge from them. There is so much to learn. Photographic evidence is one way of learning other than collecting the items which has become a very expensive venture these days. All the best to you. Bill

#5 Im not sure what that building is but my first guess would be a market place but it also appears to have the features of train station. BillAttached FilesLast edited by W Petz; 12-13-2007, 11:01 AM.
