Grüß Gott,

Great pictures. Some of them look similar to the ones from the book "Shadows of War." I've been searching for photos from this unit for a long time. Its great to see them posted.

My first post, genosse!

A great book is "Die Spielhahnjaeger 1940-45: Bilddokumentation der 97. Jaeger Division, Editor/Author Ernst-Ludwig Ott. Pub 1982 Podzun-Pallas-Verlag. I don't have a contact for publisher location, etc.

This book has great photos, but no page numbers and not much of a documented timeline for the photos. It is published in Germany and in German (no subtitles!).

Hope it helps in your study--what was the relative's name and rank?

Tschuss-
