In Heaven and Hell our primary impression is of the combat Fallschirmjager in the period immediately preceeding and following the Allied Invasion of Europe in June, 1944.
In order to achieve this impression, the prospective Fallschirmjager requires a Basic Uniform Kit which consists of;
- EM Fliegermutze (side cap) with woven insignia or
- M1943 Einheitsfeldmutze (Ski Cap) with woven insignia
- Fliegerbluse (Flight Tunic) with EM woven LW chest eagle and Golden Yellow piped shoulder boards. One gull on golden yellow collar patch. No other insignia.
- Springerhosen (Jump Pants) in field grey.
- EM service shirt (tropical, green or grey will suffice)
- 1st or 2nd Pattern FJ Boots
- M38 FJ Helmet
- Jump Smock in Splinter B (talk to Group members before purchase)

Wearing of Awards and Medals.
There is a strict Awards Criteria within the group which can be found in the Manual. No member of the group is permitted to wear the Fallschirmshutzabzeichen (FJ Jump Badge) without having completed at least one solo parachute jump - evidence must be provided by prospective members to this effect.
