Hi Keith - no, I'm proud of my oak leaves, the sign of the light infantry. I was with the oldest Jäger Bataillon of christendom, the Hessian Jägers (founded in 1631, first in Yorktown, last out).
But my uncle was airborne, because as a boy he had seen his father's brother jumping. This was Otto Heinecke, the inventor of the automatic parachute.
