Looking inside I noticed the above FP Nr. along with another FP Nr. 39496 - Deutscher Verbindungsoffizier beim italienischen Oberkommando in Afrika.

I thought it was probably worth having.......

Now that I have received it is better than expected.....

The unit that this vehicle belonged to was FP Nr. 41271 - 3 Sch******252;tzen Kompanie Verband 288, renamed 3 Kompanie, Panzergrenadier Regiment Afrika.

This was a Beute Kfz. - captured vehicle.....a Ford le. Lkw. - leicht Lstkraftwagen - light lorry with the former owner being the Engl. Wehrmacht........English Armed Forces!!!!!

It received the Wehrmacht designation WH 1329 233.

Not a bad document in the end

I wonder where it was captured?

Hello Ian,

Could it be captured at the time of the raid on Dieppe?, that was in august of that year, 1942, or of course Tunis what is most likely.

No, it would have been captured in Africa, Egypt or Libya most likely.

Ian, i bet you're busy trawling through every DAK book you can find to see if the VRN turns up in any photos

You are right Simon, I was to quick with my replay, that’s way I and the Tunis possibility in the end of my reaction.

After reading the whole thread more carefully, it must be Afrika and not some where in Europe, because it would end make sense to capture a vehicle in Europe and then send it to Afrika.<O
