Uniforms

More Reference material: 

Falschirmjaeger 

Literally "parachute hunter"
 In German there is two dots (umlaut) on the a. 
When written in English, or you don't have access to the umlaut due to restrictions in typing,
such as on Blogger, an "e" is placed after the "a".
Writing it as Falschirmjager is incorrect.


My aim for my unit is the uniform on the right

Italeri Late War German Elite Troops. Basecoated and 1st Beige camo (Vallejo German light brtown)
Destined to become Waffen SS


Snipers with Gewehr 43 at the ready. Came across a really great reference work in the local library today: German Soldiers of WW Two (Histoire and Collections) by Jean De Lagarde.
