SD2:Lw-Jäger

 is a German Infantry unit in Steel Division II.

Background
are excess Luftwaffe personnel converted to conventional infantry. Unlike the their volunteer counterparts in Division Meindl in the Eastern Front, in Normandy was lead not by experienced paratroopers but by officers who were not trained in large scale infantry combat. These infantry were equipped with second rate gear. Faustpatrone was the forerunner of the more famous Panzerfaust. MG 15 was originally designed to serve as defensive weapon for aircraft. MG 15 became obsolete as Aircraft weapons since 7.92 were not effective against the up armoring of aircraft during World War and were converted for infantry use.

In 3. Fallschirmjäger, represent II. FlaK-Korps and other Luftwaffe Field units that were attached to the Division.

My experience using Lw-Jäger
These groups are best attached with Flak guns or other Panzer units, cause their morale is relatively lower than other common ground troop unit, like Panzer-Grenadiers. Don`t put them into major battle directions unless you have no other choice, as you may see them collapsing so quickly under Russian fires. And if you have some Feldgendarmerie units, it would be better to place some around these Lw-Jägers, as those shinning dog-tags will significantly "boost" Lw-Jägers morale. In all, Lw-Jägers are my last choice to fill the battle line, if we don`t take those Osttruppen in account.
