Could somebody please tell me where this SA Unit was located:

where Sturm 40 was located I do not know, but J8 was at the SA-group of Niederrhein in brigade 76 (Aachen), at Euskirchen and as such listed in 1935 and as such in existance at least into mid-war.

Wilhelm,

thanks a lot for the info.

Do you know what the purpose of these "Jäger" units of the SA was?

Was only a single Sturm of a Sturmbann a Jäger unit or the whole Sturmbann a Jäger unit?

[wilhelm Saris]

There was no special purpose for Jäger. They were NOT a special force, but units like the regular SA (Fuss-SA). As far as I know, just raised upon old traditions in an area where in the past Jäger-army-units were active or stationed. In the series of "Dienstvorschrift für die SA" there was no further explanation about them.

J8 was a Standarte, not a Sturmbann.
Maybe Laurens has more about Jäger??
