Re: Major der Lw. Georg Graf von Merenberg, Kdr. of Paros island
Now that's really interesting! August 1944 is when the Luftwaffe began transferring masses of personnel to the Fallschirmjäger, Heer and Waffen-SS. So the good Graf must have been one of them and exchanged his Luftwaffe uniform for a Heer uniform. The transfer on paper happen at the stroke of a pen, but I didn't really know about the uniform part, meaning whether they changed uniforms over-night, too. There was probably an adequate supply of uniforms in the Heeres-Bekleidungslagern in Greece to make this possible.
