The unit stationed in Brandenburg is his Replacement unit for elements of 23 Infanterie Division, nothing to do with the elite formation Brandenburg.
Interestingly he is down as serving with Grenadier Regiment (m) 361, I can not find any reference to a this unit!
In Africa there was Verstärkte Afrika-Regiment 361 part of 90 eichte Afrika-Division. This was renamed Schützen-Regiment 361 later Panzergrenadier Regiment 361 but not that I can see Grenadier Regiment 361!
Could be a mistake at the time or a different unit?!?!?!
Any other entries from 1943-45 that might give another clue or confirm 90 Pz.Gren.Div.?!

Genesenen Sammelpunkt Krakau - Convalescent Collection Point Krakow. No doubt a unit put together of convalescing men station in Krakow. They would be shipped off to their respective units from their or maybe all would go to the same unit (e.g. a new Division!).Originally posted by douglynn
Obviously 90 Pz.Gren.Div. but a tpyo at the time or current references do not record a short lived name...........
