The Gear of Elite WW2 Paratroopers - FJR6 On D-Day

The German Paratroopers of Fallschirmjäger Regiment 6, also known as FJR6 would face their American counterparts of the 101st Airborne on D-Day, behind Utah Beach on the Cotentin Peninsula of Normandy on D-Day, June 6 1944.

But what did the Fallschirmjäger wear? What was there equipment and what made Fallschirmjäger Regiment 6 standout when viewed alongside their fellow paratroopers?

In this episode of WW2 Wayfinder I talk with Die grünen Teufel Living History Group from Northern Ireland and take a look at this unique Fallschirmjäger Regiment - the only one to fight in Normandy on D-Day!
