First of all, Leo, thank you very much! I needed this. Here's the Wigmans-story(in short). Wigmans wanted to join the Luftwaffe and be a pilot. As a pilot he wanted to go to England. He Didn't get into the Luftwaffe, he got in the NEA 23 (he left Holland 1st September 1941). During May 1942 he was s...

I've read about this NEA, in a book of J.H. Wigmans: Ik was een der milioenen (I was one of the millions). He joined this NEA and was transferred to 251 I.D.

Thanks,

Alex

Hello,

Who can help me out? I'm looking for information about Hegendörfer. He acted as a NSKK-officer in The Netherlands during the war. I found out that he survided the war and was kept in prison. And that's where my story ends. So, can anyone help me out?

Bye,

Alex

Hello, Who can provide more info about Nachrichten Ersatz Abteilung 23? It was based in Berlin (Wehrkreis III?). Was it part of the 251 I.D.? I am familiar with a story of Dutchman who served there. Was he the only one or did more non-German volunteers join the ranks of one of these units? Thanks, A...

Not much. They were send to Belgium, the Albert Canal, that's it. Sorry! If I do find something, I'll post it.

Sorry, my reacting is a bit late.

Nice topic, my grandfather joined the 347. in December 1942. His last unit was the artillery regiment 347. He was captured on 26th March 1945. For the period of 1945 (March-may), this can be of some use :?: : Maerz: Abwehrkaempfe in Lothringen Rueckzugskaempfe ueber Hargarten hinter die Saar, Raum B...

I've got a pic of two RAD-soldiers in combat position near Rzhev (july-september 1942). They are NOT wearing any swastika armbands.

Did you check for RAD Troops of the Battalion K122 (Upper Silesia)? Thoze guys have seen some combat.

Good Luck,

Alex

In what way was the NSKK involved in the construction? Was the construction done by the OT only, or were more organisations involved?

Alex

How about the Deutsche Rote Kreuz, suchdienst Arolsen? (http://www.drk.de, or something like that) It can take a lot of time, but they sure got some info.

Good luck!

Alex

Write the WASt in Berlin! They got all the info you want.

Alex

Did you look in the database of http://www.volksbund.de? Or this one: http://www.vermisst-gefallen.net

First of all, he was prisoner in a Dutch camp. So he did have to tell what he did during the war, right? So were is the administration hiding? I think you can try at the gemeente Vught. They should know what ever happended with this administration.

Good luck,

Alex

Hello HaEn, Sorry about your eyes, that's a pity! But so many birthdays mean also a lot of presents! But how did you guys think about Feldmeier? After all, you (nowadays) vets had to do the fighting, while Feldmeijer only served a few months in Russia. I also read the story about Feldmeijer doing &q...
