:Cat-Scratch: WOW!!! No service data for you-- but you cannot find a unit SMALLER than that. He may well have been the ONLY officer in that platoon!!!

Awesome. I've not seen that combination before. How'd you Ortsfester?

Alex,

According to von Stein's research, this was a Saxon unit, but this does not seem to match up with the black darts in the cords of your boards. No other information is given.

Here's the enlisted (non-Bavarian) version.

Hi Chip,

Very nice strap

You don't often see these straps in wear on photos.

Here is a FLAK strap in wear, not a Ortsfester FLAK zug strap, but still quite nice

Alex,

This is a very nice photo. These FLAK straps without any numbers or letters are from the Flugmeldedienst.

Due to the small size of the units of the FLAKtruppen, their shoulder straps are difficult to find, especially those from the fewer Bavarian units. Unfortunately, there is not much history to be found about them.
