Should this article not be named Fallschirmjäger (World War II) in keeping with other articles of the time period? Jim Sweeney ( talk) 17:03, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
I removed this picture as its caption states it the "Shows Murder of Greek civilians in Kondomari by Fallschirmjäger in 1941." But all it really shows is a Fallschirmjäger standing over bodies.

While this article contains excellent history of the operations of WW2 German Paratroops, it does not adequately deal with the organisational structure of the Fallschirmjäger units. It only has a list of Fallschirmjäger divisions, but no breakdown of those divisional units. The article could use a complete Order of Battle for an exemplar division, showing how many brigades, regiments, companies, &c. preferably with an accompanying table. Also useful would be the numbers of personnel at each structural level, rank of the commanders for these sub-units, and information about their weaponry and equipment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.54.253.142 ( talk) 20:38, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
Fallschirmjäger is a German-language word that means paratrooper. It has no particular link to the Third Reich. The German armed forces of the late 1930s and World War II had paratroops (as did other armies), and having an article on German paratroops of that time makes sense. If you think that there should be an English-language article on German paratroops from the 1930s to the present day, feel free to create one. Toddy1 (talk) 21:20, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

– Current name is misleading, as the force existed in Nazi Germany prior to the war. Clear primary topic for this term in English, as the other German paratrooper units listed in Fallschirmjäger (disambiguation) are not commonly referred to as "Fallschirmjäger" in English. First twenty results in Google books are all for the Nazi Fallschirmjäger. German paratroopers from all eras are not eligible for a broad concept article, in my opinion, because of the lack of state continuity between Nazi Geramany and East/West Germany, but if it did have an article "Airborne units of Germany" or another English name would probably be the best name for it. b uidh e 01:41, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
