    Recommended Posts

    Looks like basic training, then out to the 2 battery of MFA 232 which was in the wilhelmshaven area and then in '45 in for what seems to be officers training.

    One entry i haven't seen thus far though. Under religion it says gottgl. what would that be?

    Doug,

    You have a nice little group. I find it interesting that a man from land-locked Bavaria spent the entire war with a navy unit in the Wilhelmshaven area. I spent a year at the university in W?rzburg, which is a beautiful city. By a coincidence, I recently received a complete WW1 document group of awards, award documents, Milit?rpass and Soldbuch to a Bavarian who served with naval artillery units in the north of Germany, the Somme and Flanders

    Simon,

    gottgl. is an abbreviation for gottgl?ubig, which he meas that he believed in God, but didn't commit himself to a particular religious demonination.
