Chip Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Chris, The 901st was an independent battery. Normally, the metal numbers indicated a reserve unit. Nice photo. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip I am guessing that it was financially not viable to have straps sewn for such a small unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much smaller units had straps with their unit numbers on them. Take, for instance, the Mastfernrohr units with only one NCO and four men.
