Fallschirmjaeger boots

[wittmann]

Hi all,
is there any historical evidence that shows Fallschirmjaeger wearing jackboots [ rather than Para boots ], with their trousers bloused over the lower boots leg, minus gaiters.

Thanks in advance.

Chris.

I've seen plenty of shots, but my computer took a dump so I am without my images I have accumulated. Here's one of a a FJ MG team with jacks, and also a LWfD shot with Jacks.

Lots of pics in Russia with jackboots! Along the Newa front. Same in Normandy.

Remember, jackboots were the standard issue luftwaffe service boot. Jumpboots were only task-specific equipment. If there was a lack of jumpboots, they'd still have their regular boots.
