Well, they're obviously not a Waffen-SS unit - otherwise we'd have had an answer in about 30 seconds...

Kai Petri is right-I was referring to Karl Jager-he had landed on Fort Eben Emael and was later responsible for overseing the massacre of 138, 272 people in Lithuania.
NO HIJACKING PLEASE!!!

Admiral - the way this thread works is that first , you have to answer the current question correctly.

Then , the thread is all yours to ask any WWII question of your choice.

So, at the moment, Kai-Petri answered the last question and he'll now post a question. Get it right - and it's all yours !

OK, the question...

The Panzer Lehr consisted of units that had formerly belonged to the various armour schools. The suggestion to concentrate these units into a fighting division...came from whom? And who was the first commander?

The idea came from Panzer Leader himself, Heinz Guderian. The first commander, Fritz Bayerlein
