Re: Feldjagdabteilung d. LW - What is it?
Feldjäger Kommandos where founded in Dezember 1943. As their power came direct from the OKH - Ordnungstruppen, they have commanding power over all members (incl. senior officers up to an Oberst, d.h. Regimental-Commanders etc.) of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS!!! This was the only case, that Wehrmacht-Officers have power over the members of the Waffen-SS.
An typical Feldjäger-Patrol (four Soldiers) was lead by an Hauptmann or an higher Staffofficer like Major or Oberstleutnant, the Feldjäger where 3 Feldwebel oder higher NCO, normal soldiers serve only as Driver or in the General Support Branch!. The leader of an Patrol must be an high decorated officer (see the Wehrpaß in this case!)
