The Luftwaffe is accepting new recruits for the Fallschirmjagers, and veteran Luftwaffe personnel are also highly encouraged to volunteer for Fallschirmjager duties. New Jump schools are currently being run in France. In the Fallschirmjagers you are guaranteed to see action and be right in the middle of the most heroic and difficult struggles for the Fatherland. Led by the Hero’s of Norway, Eben Emael, Kreta, the Russian campaigns, Afrika, Sicily, Italia, and many others, you will have leadership second to none!

Be with the men dedicated to being the best; the most professional, courageous, and gallantly fighting force on the face of the earth.

[spencerman]

If you have any interest at all in WW2 airsoft or reenacting sign up now. There are rental kits available. You will be kicking yourself for not coming after you see the photos and hear the after-stories.

This years Jump To Destiny is allready three times the size of last years. There has been an enormous turn out by WW2 airsofters and reenactors.

For those of you who wants to go to the event but don't have the resources to put together a german or allied impression there is a third option .

We are taking french partisan registrations at 1/2 the entry fee. This is a great way to attend the event without having to acquire a military impression. Here are som examples of partisans impressions last year.

Looks like it will end up at over a hundred participants this year!
