Fallschirmjäger Regt. 3 has been a part of Kompanie 1 for about two years. Over
this time the unit has grown in numbers and become a well established part of
the group. We are also one the few Fallschirmjager units in the UK that have
actually performed a parachute jump in full WWII kit!
As with all Kompanie 1 units we take a professional approach to uniform
requirements, battle tactics and our static displays. We also ensure all our
members enjoy themselves when attending shows or battles.
FJR3 was officially formed in August 1940 and consisted of three Battalions.
The regiment fought on many fronts throughout the war and built up a fierce
reputation for excellence on the battle field in any theatre. Below is
chronological list of the regiments engagements during the war.

We are a bunch of ordinary people with a healthy interest in WWII Axis forces
and do not condone or support any Nazi ideology or beliefs. It must be stressed
here that any extreme political views are not welcome in this unit or any of
the other Kompanie 1 units.
