Well, I guess I'm guilty as charged. Granted I have only tried to communicate directly with 3 authors in 20 years (without success), but still I did not offer to or include any postage/expense money for the info I was requesting. As for offering help/assistance/"resources", I had no idea a...

I'd be interested too. I get the impression it is a photo book "only". The price isn't too bad if that's the case...

I concur wholeheartedly! I would love to know more about the emblems. Every now and then you read how a symbol originated with a unit but not often enough. Perhaps the information is already out there, but I have always wondered about the symbol system used on the Panzer-Divisions. Most follow the p...

Sista, Here is a brief description of the unit your Opa served in and where. This comes from another excellent website on the Luftwaffe called The Luftwaffe, 1933-45 at http://www.ww2.dk/ I am not the most versed person in Fallschirmjäger activity but if there is anything else I can do to help, I am...

Donald, They do. They used to have a separate section for international trade and unless it has been given up completely, they have amalgamated everything into one market. Right now, everything is in German (I believe) but they are working on making the site multi-lingual. Please be advised that you...

ReconPAL,

Please do. I am currently trying to read about a dozen or so books (simultaneously) on the fighting along the German border and sometimes I just get too caught up in the micro-battles to appreciate the whole scope.

Fallschirmjäger unit histories

Some time ago someone posted the listings of Panzerdivision and Infanteriedivision unit histories and I am hoping that that someone is out there and reading this forum. I am hoping that I might be able to ask for a listing of unit histories on the Fallschirmjäger units. Pretty please.

Sorry to throw you a little bit of a curveball, but the 10. SS-Panzer-Division was not formed until well after Stalingrad and did not actually see combat until April (?) 1944. Now that is not to say that your father wasn't a member of that division later on, but if he saw combat in the Stalingrad ar...
