Photo from filming a short film for a school project. Please forgive the Wehrmacht helmet and belt buckle on the SS soldier, the jungle boots, the collar tabs on the Leutnant, the HBT, the East German dress, the Swiss knife, etc. I'm going to a game with my group on Sunday and will get lots of pics of us in our kits. We've standardized, and now pretty much all look alike.

how's this, fellas? I've purchased the Fliegerbluse, jump pants, helmet, smock, sidecap and MP-40. Now, unfortunately... My group has decided to standardize our uniforms. (My idea, ironically) So this means I'll now be building a Wehrmacht impression. Oh well. I've still got all this cool Fallschirmjager stuff. ^thumbs up for the #1 best photo ever taken of me.

About time I posted some pictures. Her are some photos of me and my group. I'm obviosuly the Fallschirmjager. The guy with the most correct gear is my brother. We've got a little group going out here in Cali. Only four members now. These pictures were taken last weekend at a local game, with a few from early January as well. We've since decided to standardize and reenact one unit, so stay tuned for upcoming pics of us in... well, more correct kits. I do realize that these are very 'Flaggrantly Wrong,' but hey. It's a WiP thread. This is the picture that was taken of me for my Luftwaffe soldbuch. Also known as the best picture ever taken of me. Me in combat dress. No web gear yet, other than my black officer belt. Mein kleine brüder. He's also our CO now, since our old one left our little group. Somewhat of an ironic picture. The Russki bastar-... er... the fine young gentleman on the right is the leader of a local Soviet group. Obviously that's me on the far left. My brother (Background) and our Russian friend in the foreground. Another ironic photo. Here you can see our 'Pak-36' and our incredibly 'PC' flag. We got the idea from the Soviets, since we can't let them be the only ones flying a flag!

I guess I'll just lose the Fliegerbluse if it gets too hot then. Thanks!

Another question... In CA (Monterrey bay area...) it doesn't really get cold during events. (I mainly airsoft in Marina at the field there at Ft. Ord) Wearing the wool Fliegerbluse AND smock is gonna be incredibly hot. Any ideas on how to make myself as comfortable as possible? I know they wore the collars of the Fliegerbluse over the collar of the smock, so I doubt I'd be able to get away with NOT wearing the Fliegerbluse.
PS: I also airsoft in Hollister, which is basically desert. It gets REALLY hot there, it'd be suicidal to wear the Fliegerbuse and smock! Would I just wear a tropical shirt in this situation?

Thanks.
From a bit of research, it seems like both the 9th and 10th FJ divisions were formed later in the war, with the 10th formed in 1945.
And you said I should use a brown equipment belt?
Also, would I use a regular feldblau breast eagle for the smock, or the type with splinter B camouflage on the eagle?

Alright. I'm building a Fallschirmäger impression. I wanted to do Eastern front for a number of reasons. First of all, I have relatives who fought in WWII (American) and I don't want to do Western front where I'd be fighting Americans. Second, most of the people in my group are Eastern front, so I'd like to do something similar. There are other reasons, but I'd prefer to get straight to it.
Now, I'd prefer to do early war. Can anyone give me any information on Fallschirmjägers on the Eastern front, or point me towards some sources where I can find the information myself?
I also have a question involving rank. I'm a Feldwebel, and as I understand it, the collar tabs have 3 gulls, with the tresse on the collar and the shoulder boards have the tresse and one pip. Am I correct, or did I miss something? And does it matter if the pip is silver or gold?
Thanks in advance.
