FP No. 50309 (1944-45)?

[beaviso]

Please help with deciphering Feldpost number: 50309.
The period I'm interested in is late 1944 and early 1945.
If possible, please find not only the unit, but also its location at that time.

TIA.

Best regards,
Michal

PS> It should be some Luftwaffe unit (Signal troops).

Hi Michal, you are correct it is a Luftwaffe signals unit

50309

(2.1.1940-11.3.1943) 9. Kompanie Luftnachrichten 224,
(23.4.1944-24.11.1944) 1.12.1944 23. Kompanie Luftnachrichten-Regiment 260.

Thank you Aidie for the answer!

Is this possible (and not time-consuming) to find the FP No. of known unit (5. Kompanie Luftnachrichten-Regiment 261)?

Cheers!

Hi Michal, sorry I cannot find the FP number for 5th Kompanie. I have only found these. I have shown them here just for your interest.

Cheers, Ade.

Thank you again, you have been very helpful!
Does your source also mention the location (city/village) of the Feldposts? I would like to match the units, since they were stationary, with exact places. Info from www.ww2.dk is unsatisfactory for this Regiment.

Best regards,
Michal

Hi Michal, sorry I don't have that kind of info

I am glad to have been some help to you.

Cheers, Ade.

Chances are it was FP Nr. 06852 as this belonged to I.Abteilung Luftnachrichten-Flugmelde-Regiment 91. This unit was supposed to become I. Abteilung, Luftnachrichten-Regiment 261....perhaps the FP Übersicht was never updated...

If so then it was FP Nr. 06852 F:

A - Abteilung Stab
B - 1 Kompanie
C - 2 Kompanie
D - 3 Kompanie
E - 4 Kompanie
F - 5 Kompanie
