"Leutnant, 12./Geb.Jäg.Rgt. 85 / 5. Geb.Div."

Hi Setzer.

Unless I am way off beam, as I understand it, it means the following:

Leutnant..........2nd Lieutenant
12...................??
Geb.Jag.Rgt.85................85th Mountain Rifles Regiment
5.Geb.Div..................5th Mountain Division


Im sure if I have got it wrong one of the guys will chip in and correct me. LOL

Jimpy has got it spot on I think.

"12" = 12th Company ?
