what does jaeger mean in german
JÃ¤ger is a German military term adopted during the Age of Enlightenment in German-speaking states to describe elite light infantry, especially skirmishers. The military usage of JÃ¤ger, which literally means hunter in German, is similar to that of SchÃ¼tze, which literally means shooter. While both terms continue, in some modern instances, to carry their original and literal connotations, both have broadened in usage over time.
