The German Fallschirmjäger unit’s main impression is of troops that fought as part of the desert campaign and in Sicily and Italy 1942-1945.

Dressed in their Luftwaffe pattern helmets, camouflage smocks summer tunics the FJ’s are strong on firepower using a mix of Mauser rifles, MP40’s, hand grenades and when possible the support of an MG34/42. The original troops were an elite force and our FJ’s always draw a crowd at displays for their distinctive uniforms and spirited tactics.
