David Gregory Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 One entry seems to read Feld-Straf.-Gef.-Abt., which I presume means that he served with a penal unit.Whether he had been convicted of some sort of crime or serving on the staff of the unit doesn't seem clear.

I believe these units to have been the most severe assignments as punishment then in existence . But as David mentioned we do not know whether he belonged to the cadre or as member/inmate (?).Bernhard H. Holst
Guest Rick Research Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 What I find interesting is that appears to have been his last unit assignment--in 1942 (!!!) yet he was being passed medically fit in 1944!!!And what the heck was a Gewehr 211(n) ?Nevvvvvver mind. Here it is:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26057&hl=
