    Feldpost Number 23375 Help please

    Hello, I have a photo of an early or pre-war German soldier on a WH motorbike with sidecar and written on the back is "Soldat Willy Ballau Feldpost No. 23375" Could anyone please tell me what unit this is ?

    The other photos show him as a dispatch rider with 8 ton prime-movers (all the other soldiers are wearing soutache M34 sidecaps or double decal M35 helmets) and other photos as part of the crew of a 37MM Anti-tank gun (wearing tropical M40's & Y straps with the European uniform). There are also photos of him and the rest of his unit being out-fitted with the full early tropical uniform. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Many thanks, Chris
