Reenactment of a Feldkurat (Military chaplain), from the Lower Austrian Infantry Regiment Nr 4 Hoch- und Deutschmeister
The Stoßtruppen of the Austro-Hungarian Army emerged from the "Jagdkommando" (highly trained scout units with a emphasis on independent action). They later on adapted similar Stormtrooper tactics as the German army & where usually used as shock troops.
As a little side note a short presentation of the main rifle of the Austro-Hungarian army during WW1.
