Jagdkommando Interrogating Female Partisan

Private picture of  a Jagdkommando while interrogating a female partisan, dated August 1943. Possibly in Yugoslavia. German Jagdkommando unit were very small and lightly armed, meant to mop up the last of partisan resistance after major sweeps. Perhaps that even included sympathizers and partisans trying to hide amongst the civilians. Some books call it the first or one of the first modern responses and attempts to cope with the insurgency problem. In the form of a guerrila type unit that fought the partisans at their own game, setting up traps, ambushes and taking prisoners.

At this time, members of the division still not wearing the Eichenblatt insignia on their uniforms. Since the division was in the process of re-creation in the summer of 1943, they did not yet receives some of the items for their unit's insignia, including ärmelabzeichen der Jägertruppen as above. But it could also be as a measurement of camouflage since Partisans should not let be aware of theit exact opponents.
