Post For those interested in WWI units

Thought some maybe interested in seeing these. I have another interest. These are photos of German J�¤gers (Hunters).
They are Woodsman,Wood cutters, Professional Hunters etc. Recruited into special units of Elite Fighters. Kind of the equivilent of modern special forces. They were very effective and fierce units. Highly respected by their enemies. They were equiped with the very best weapons. And the only units, provided with additional weaponry. They were pretty much given what ever they wanted or needed.
They can be identified by their distinctive hats or "Shakos". Some were formed as Ski J�¤ger units, or mountain fighters. Identified by a large S worn on their uniform collars. The Elite of the Elite.
Another of my interests I wanted to share.
Ron
