...GUESS it was a BAD divorce hahahah!

DANG I LUV them Thick tight woven FJ C loth Badges...
I know if I was a FJ ..I would prefer them in combat for 3) Reasons
1) they don't turn into shrapnel when hit
2)harder to lose than metal pin backed device
3)if I had fallen (KIA/died)harder or less likely to be taken off
As a war trophy

And as always BILL
Many fine thanks for showing your OUTSTANDING collection over the years!

I normally collect German 35mm photographica (cameras, slides and negatives). Sometimes though when I buy a camera I am also offered photo collections. Here are some interesting images I received, which are part of a larger collection of Fallschirmjäger photos taken in Italy in 1944. The second photo was taken at or near Monte Cassino and shows several members depicted in the first picture.
