Re: Lesser known details of WW2 part four
From Fallschirmjäger by Quarrie
" During the war, centralised parachute training was abandoned and relegated to regimental training schools. However, shortages of aircraft and fuel meant that few men in the higher-numbered Fallschirmjäger divisions received any jump training. The CO of 4. Fallschirm division, Generalmajor Heinrich Trettner, for example, was not entitled to wear the Parachutist´s Badge.
