Whats the proper spelling of 'Fallshrimjager'? (As in German Paratroopers) Ive looked it up, but found 3 different spellings, including the above, and 'Fallschrimjaeger'. I just dont want to be the idiot spelling it improperly. Thanks in advance!

Fallschirmjäger if you're using the a with umlaut, or Fallschirmjaeger (jaeger is pronounced like Yeager) without the umlaut.

Fallschirmjager is entirely incorrect, even if understandable.

Okay. It was the schrim/shirm thing I was confused about. Thank you very much!

LOL ~ even if it's spelled wrong, you can see what that one means.

Fallschirm = chute

Jaeger = Hunter

Fallschirmjaeger = Paratrooper(s)
