Hi,
Just bought the book L'Odyssee de la Brigade Ramcke a El Alamein", the first 15 or so photos all show the newly formed Fsch Lehr Battalion headed by its commander von der Heydte, all in new uniforms with their appropriate decorations etc., but the curious point is that none of them are wearing the diving eagle/wreath Parachute qualification badge or a Kreta cuff title, even though it is obvious that von der Heydte and many of his accompanying officers are jump qualified and were at Krete.
Is there an explanation for this ? much appreciate any sort of answer
cheers Paul
