Hello,
This is a wehrpass from the 2nd FJ Korps with a "Beurteilung" and the "spr�ngKarte".
Thanks, David.

That is a particularly interesting jump card. Although I knew from my own jump training that there must have been many such cases, I hadn't seen the jump card of one before.

My guess from the interval between the first two jumps and the last four is a sprained ankle on the second jump, which he made from an HE111, an awful thing to jump out of!

Another possibility is an emergency leave -- sometimes personnel were granted a short furlough, if they were in Germany already, if their house or their parents' house was bombed out in an air strike, for example, or there was a death in the immediate family. In that case, after the emergency leave, he would have cycled back to the next class of jumpers to complete his required six as seen on his jump card.
