Paratrooper FP Number: Please Help

[Larry F.]

Hi Everyone,

I have a tan FJ helmet that I believe served in Italy. On the liner is written B. W. S4413E (very hard to make out...but this is the best I could do).

The inner rim has written: Obgfr. H. Geigel (may be Zeigel)

I'm looking for any information on the above. Your time and help is greatly appreciated.

Best,

Larry

Hey Larry!

I think the number is 54413 and not S4413

54413
(8.9.1943-22.4.1944) 19.1.1944 Stab II u. 5.-8. Kompanie Fallschirmjager-Regiment 5.


FJR5 was part of the FJD3 that fought in normandy!
