Polynike:

We are fortunate that I was in a benevolent frame of mind this morning. When you put this many of them up all at one time, most of us who have Kannapin won't take the time to look them up. It took about 20 minutes. Next time, try putting them up one or two at a time.

FN 18163 letter dated 9th December 1939: 8./IR 106.
FN 20528/6(cant make it out) letter dated 30th December 1941: IV./Lw.-Sturm-Rgt. 1.
L38804 written on the envelope: 2./le.Res.Flak-Abt. 874.
FN 23671 letter dated 25th May 1940: 2./Pi.Btl. 657.
FN 20624B letter dated 16th September 1942: II./GR 588 (prob. 5.Kp.).
FN 28584B letter dated 16th September 1943: IV./Feld-Rgt.d.Lw. 1 (prob. 13.Kp.).
L55967B beside the senders name: II./Lw.-Jäger-Rgt. 42 (prob. 5.Kp.).
FN 11455 letter dated 20th December 1943: kl.Kw.Kol. 810.
FN 18163 letter dated 5th May 1941: 3./Res.Flak-Abt. 412.
FN LN 38804 letter dated 21st April 1941: le.Res.Flak-Bttr. 204.

Kannapin, Norbert. Die deutsche Feldpostübersicht 1939-1945. 3 Bde (I – III) (Osnabrück, 1980-82).

It's the reference book that's used to look up what unit the Feldpostnummer was assigned to.

First post:

Looking for help on locating any info regarding a relative who did not return from the war. The last letter we received showed Feldpost # 42572 and was dated July 17 / 1944.

Lorenz · Post by **Lorenz** » Sun Jan 14, 2007 3:50 pm

FpN 42572

5.Schwadron,
SS-Kav.Rgt. 16,
8. SS-Kavallerie-Division "Florian Geyer"

In July 1944 it was in the vicinity of Osijek (Esseg)/Croatia "in formation". How did he die? Elements of the Division were being used against Yugoslav partisans at this time, but these were skirmishes and casualties were few.

We never received any information on what happened to him. Have recently sent a note off to WAST. Do you have any other suggestions on sources of further information?

Thanks,

Thanks,

Here's a web site on the Division along with 5 books about it:

http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=1969

Those sources should familiarize you with the Division and what it was doing at the time of your relative's death.

What about this Feldpost Nr - 30869 (28.12.1942)? I am trying to find any information about my grandfather service in WW2 for my family history reconstruction. Can you help me, guys? Thanks!

Richard Schoutissen · Post by **Richard Schoutissen** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 4:37 am

hello John,

The Feldpostnummer 30869 belonged that period to the Stab Lettische Schutzmannschaft-Abteilung 17.

Was there, behind this number, also a character? If yes it would belong to the Stab(A) u. 1.-3. Kompanie (B/C/D) Lettische Schutzmannschaft-Abteilung 17.

Regards,
Richard

Thanks for answer, Rihard! I received info from Lorenz too. I still try to get official confirmation about my grandfather service in this unit. Unfortunately, Deutsche Dienststelle doesn't have this information. I will try to write in Freiburg Military archive. Regards!
