I got this interesting Stalingrad deathcard. The interesting part is the cap the soldier is wearing. It cannot be a m43, so it must be a gebirgsjager cap. He must have been transfered to some infantry unit after the pic was taken, unless there was GJ units in Stalingrad that I am not aware off? Jacques

Jacques,
OK...now it makes sense. I googled information about the 100th Light Infantry Division which was virtually destroyed at Stalingrad. The unit was reorganized as the 100th Jaeger Division after Stalingrad.
Here is the link to the history of this unit (click on 100th Light Infantry Division).
