Tag- Flakstutzpunkt.Hbg-O

[Stu W]

Hi Guys,

This one arrived today and looks good in terms of it's constuction. Can anyone assist in the unit/location?

Possibly a member of Flakstutzpunkt Hamburg-Ost (Flak Base Hamburg-East) in one of the Flak towers in Hamburg?

or

Possibly for something in Osdorf or Ohlsdorf, which I believe are two districts within that city?

Regards,
Stu

Hello

Nice dogtag.

I have one with #1181 in my database.

Don`t know if Ost means the east of Hamburg or a town district.


Best regards, Fronti

Hi fronti,

I'm definitly leaning for east of Hamburg and not for town district. On the tag is : Hbg-O like Hamburg-Ost and not Hbg (o) like Hamburg ortsgebunden.

Stu, I have solved the mystery for you. There is currently a Wehrpass on 321militaria from this unit:

Militaria321.com - Auktion - Wehrpass Flakverteidigung Hamburg

Your tag is from Flakstützpunktkommando Hamburg-Osdorf as I suspected.

By the way, this tag came out of the renowned Luftwaffe collection of George Petersen.
