Hello

For a Research I'm looking to know what was the positions of the FJR6 in the field?

Does anyone know where was the FJR6 Kompanies positioned exactly?

In particular i'm looking to know where the 13./FJR6 was on 7 Juin 1944.

Merci Beaucoup

Daniele

Hi Daniele,

Send an email to Volker Griesser. He has written a book on the FJR 6 and his uncle was in that unit.

Guenther Prignitz, obergefreiter with 13. FJR6 tells of his spending the night of june 6th with headquarters company around Saint Georges du Bohon.

Dans le livre de Volker Griesser, "les lions de Carentan"

Gennaker,

I see!I emailed Volker and now i hope he replys to me.

I was thinkng to buy the book at least to look at the picture as my french is too bad(i understand only a few words).
Are the pictures showing FJR6 in battlefield in Normandy?

Merci beaucoup

Daniele

Some of'em are... the book is a must considering it is about the only one that goes deep into a specific action from a german viewpoint. It is kinda biased though as some figures seem widely exaggerated, with the numbers of prisonners rising to the hundreds at times... It also lacks precise mapping of the operations, but overall, it's a good couterpart to the all american litterature on the subject.
