[RichardT]

Is there anywhere a compiled list of feldpost numbers/description relating to Kriegsmarine locations and vessels?

Thanks for the help.

I have a great little book pertaining to the U-Bootwaffe. It's quite comprehensive. Haven't seen a volume that addresses the entire Kriegsmarine though.

Hi !

A small Norwegian book about KM Feldpostnumbers in Norway .

Jan Arne

[RichardT]

A belated thanks for the information on this book, Jan. I'll see if I can track it down.

Does anyone know the location for the following feldpost numbers:

M25522

M03184

Thanks for any help that you can give me.

M25522 Mobilisation until Jan 1940 - Vehicle Pool of 2 U-Flotille then used by 2 U-Flotille Command

M03184 Jan - April 1940 BdU, then used by 24 U-Flotille

M11878 Mobilisation until Jan 1940 Vehicle pool of 4 U-Flotille, then used by 21 U-Flotille Command

M24032 Can you double check this one - Doesn't seem to be a Naval code so shouldn't have an M prefix. 24032 was allocated to Bau Bataillon 57.

Thanks Gordon. The last one is very hard to read. It could be M24932.

Do you have a location for M45127. I believe that it's possibly Tech.Ausb.Gru.f.Front-U-Boote????

Thanks again.

Richard,

24932 sounds much more like it

Mobilisation until Jan 1940 - FdU, then BdU

Jul 1941 - Feb 1942 - 2.Admiral d. U-Boote,

Feb 1943 - Aug 1943 - Kommandierender Admiral der U-Boote

45127 Oct 1940 - Feb 1941 -BdU

Feb 1941 - Jul 1941 -Ausbildungs-Gruppe U-Boote Horten

Jul 1941 - Feb 1942 -Ausbildungs-Gruppe Front (B.d.U.), Technische Ausbildungs-Gruppe f?r Front-U-Boote

[RichardT]

Thanks again Gordon. Yes, the 9 instead of the 0 makes sense.

What was a mobilisation unit and vehicle pool as it relates to u-boats?

Dick

[Gordon Williamson]

No, mobilisation just refers to the time, not a unit, so these numbers were allocated from, --the time the armed forces were mobilised, until -----.

[RichardT]

Makes sense.

I found a couple more numbers I need help with M42766 in October 1943 and M108907 or M10890. I'm not even sure if the last one was a feldpost number. It's hand-written for a clothing requisition.

Thanks again Gordon.

The info I have only shows M42766 in use between Oct 40 and July 1941 , as follows

Oct 1940-Feb 1941 B.d.U.,

Feb 1941-Jul 1941 5. U-Flottille Command.

I don't thinkl the other is a Feldpost number, certainly doesn't correspond to any I've seen listed.

[RichardT]

As always, greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know the location for the following feldpost number:

M31015

It's on a helmet I have. it's named to FK Gefr Hoffmann. Does any one know the meaning of "FK"

I also have a helmet marked O419/35k with name Lemcke. Any idea of the meaning of this number.

Thanks for any help that you can give me.

According to my brand new Feldpostnemmern book:

18.Vorposten-Flotille/Kdo.

Richard

[frwi]

Thanks Richard,

There is two names in the helmet. This is the first and stroken over. The last is Obltn Ingj. Manzhe. Difficult to read the last name. No feldpostno on that name.

Frode

[RichardT]

A new request regarding FP nr. M 03184.

My feldpost number book indicates that this number was for 24 U-Boots-Flottille/Kdo. Was this still the case in December 1943?

Thanks for the help.

Richard

[Gordon Williamson]

Only two allocations shown for that number, which would suggest it should no longer have been in use after Jan 1941

03184

(2.1.1940-27.4.1940) B.d.U.,

(15.9.1940-31.1.1941) 24. U-Flottillen-Kommando.
