506th

Lt Albert Hassenzahl of the 506th "C" Company with a "Para-dice" on his jacket that is dentical to the one worn by Dick Winters of Easy Company.

Judging the size of the pocket with the rest of the jacket it looks like a small size 38, his chest patch must be quite small too.

Thanks for posting this pic of Lt Albert Hassenzahl wearing his Aero A2. Judging by the picture I guess it was taken sometime ago? Is the vet still alive?

I have a repro of that patch (What Price Glory) and the original is in fact smal, smaller that the standard 5" AAF breastpatch maybe 3.5" The one you see on the RMNZ A-2 in the BOB series was custom made to look better. Love Mike Bando's site (Trigger Time)

Here are some nice pics of R. Winters, taken from two different angles

Judging by the rounded collar points on Capt. Buker's A2, a Perry or 1756 Maybe??
