Need help in researching a fallschirmjäger from a named badge

[J Temple-West]

I've had this badge for a number of years and have tried to find information on the owner...but before contacting the Bundesarchiv - Militararchiv, I thought I would post the badge of W.Hirte 97 ( 97 most likely his soldbuch number) on the forum in the hope that someone, somewhere, has his paperwork or access to fallschirmjäger member listings so that I can find out what unit he was in.


Any help would be much appreciated.


So, to the badge....an early fallschirmjäger abzeichen by F.W Assmann & Söhne
