Bro has a uniform for every country and unit it’s actually really impressive I would love to see a tour where you would store all of the uniforms at once
Mine are all stored away in boxes in secure storage I always wanted to have my own museum but would cost too much this is a great way to let people see it
Though jäger means 'hunter' in German it is also a German military term going back to the 17th century. Gebirgsjäger does mean light infantry and historically they were units composed of men who had been mountaineers, hunters and woodsmen, so they knew how to survive in the mountains. Not sure where you got your information from but Wehrmacht mountain troops fought in the mountains of Norway, in the Balkans, in the Caucasus as well as in being active in Arctic Finland and the hot hilly terrain in Crete. And don't forget, they also fought in the mountains in eastern France fighting the partisans there. Anyhow, nice displays.
Nice seeing this winter kit, shame Brit soldiers were not issued it in NW Europe campaign. 52nd did have windproof smocks which make a big difference in cold weather
Jager does mean "hunter" but like most European militaries, the Germans (along with the Swiss and Austrians) use the word to denote light infantry or rifles. The French use "chasseur" and the Portuguese use "cazadore" amongst others. In German military parlance, when speaking about foot soldiers, "jager" simply means light infantry, "gebirgsjager" means mountain light infantry and "fallschirmjager" means parachute light infantry. In other branches it does mean hunter, as in panzerjager or tank hunter.
Another great video, I didn't know about the slightly different rifle. I'm thinking one of my pairs of repro german trousers might be the same, draw string on the bottom 🤔. I was thinking about the British mountain troops, 'where did they serve?, Norway?'.....anyhow you answered my question, cheers and thanks 😊😊😊😊

And not a binocular in sight 😊
The mountain troops from the UK would have been needed to help scale cliffs on D Day.
Very nicely presented,
Thanks glad you liked it
Interesting that the British 52nd Scottish Mountain Division started ops below sea level....freeing the Scheldt estuary along with the Canadians
Great video. Hope you can do additional videos on the mountain units of other nations. The USA, Italy and the Soviets.
Afraid I don’t have any of those at the moment they are hard to find but will keep a look out
There were British mountain troops??? For the Himalayas?
sound effects from a well known ww2 movie from the sixties/seventies?
Don’t know a friend of mine does the editing and sound effects so could be
did the german mountain troops wear tropical uniforms in north africa?
There were two Wehrmacht mountain troop units in North Africa and both were issued standard DAK uniforms.
@@Landsturm thank you
Jäger = skirmisher
