Chapter 3

III./Fallschirmjäger Regiment 1

General Student has just awarded Oberstleutnant Sydow the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross Second Class. The stripe of the ‘FallschirmJäger Regiment 1’ is clearly visible on the sleeve of Sydow’s uniform jacket. Sydow left the parachute unit that same year. Student is wearing the 2nd model ‘Flieger-Generalsdegen’ (Luftwaffe officer’s sword), which was introduced in 1938. The sword had been awarded to Luftwaffe generals by Göring himself since 1935. However, Student is actually contravening a regulation issued in June 1939 by wearing the sword with a waist belt and crossbelt here. (Janzyk)
