Perhaps his Father or Grand Father, who fought in the Alps? 2e Division was formed in 1938 from the former Austrian 6e Mountain Division....

Ha Ha no - these are all pictures I've had for a while ; in fact , I've not seen so many interesting pics on eBay.de recently ; but then again I've tried to stay off to save the pennies
There's a few more still to come ....

Ok , another climbing picture, just for you M. Not the best quality but a great picture nonetheless, as it shows a Gebirgsjager under instruction...

Not sure what it is Matt - doesn't look like a knife, could be a knot ? One thing I didn't mention is that he appears to have no Edelweiss on his cap so this is pre '39 picture..funker50 wrote:that a knife on his left hip or a rope knot?
