-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is an incredibly rare Luftwaffe eagle insignia that was cut from a Model 42 3rd Pattern Splinter Tarn Camouflage Paratrooper Jump Smock. German cut out insignia’s were common bring back war trophies collected by American GIs and were typically cut away from combat worn uniforms and headgear. This Luftwaffe embroidered example is mounted to a section of a Model 42 3rd Pattern Splinter Tarn Camouflage Fallschirmjäger jump smock and is offered in very good to excellent condition.
The Fallschirmjäger were the paratrooper branch of the German Luftwaffe before and during World War II. They were the first German paratroopers to be committed in large-scale airborne operations and came to be known as the "green devils" by the Allied forces they fought against. The Fallschirmjäger were very effective when used in commando style raids. The Fallschirmjäger were famous for their willingness to give every effort unwaveringly even in the grimmest of situations. The Fallschirmjäger were seldom used as parachutists. Instead, they were prized for their combat abilities and frequently acted in a "fire brigade" role as roving elite infantrymen. Throughout World War II the Fallschirmjäger commander was Kurt Student.
