My last trip to Germany 03 Heer Flak

Thanks Ian, I suspect he was a Kompanie Führere, just that is a little weird to sign oneself his own award and leave...........

Let's wait and see what surfaced in your books.

Thanks

I have known a few people that entered or signed off their own leaves and awards etc.....one was a RKT and I queried him on it, he said he made the entry in the Soldbuch but his leave and travel passes etc. were actually signed by a superior.

Had a few drinks so not in the right frame of mind to be reading books at the moment

Hi Angel,

Unfortunately Herr Krauß is not mentioned in Fla nach vorn! However here is a little info:

Page 1: Written to top of page:

FP Nr. 34911 - 4. Kompanie, Fla-MG-Bataillon (schwer) mot. Z 52

FP Nr. 10.3.1944 Fla-Kompanie (Sf.) 2 CM Flak, 28.6.1944 3. (Fla) Kompanie, Panzerjäger-Abteilung 383

FP Nr. 64683 - 3.11.1944 Stab u. 1.-4. Kompanie Festungs-MG-Bataillon 821, 2.12.1944 Stab u. 1.-4. Kompanie Infanterie-Fla-Bataillon 821,
22.1.1945 Stab I u. 1.-5. Kompanie leichte Heeres-Flakartillerie-Brigade 501.

The latter FP Nr. E denotes 4 Kompanie.

Page 2: Signed by Oberleutnant u. Kp. Führer Schulz.

Page 3:
1, 4 & 5. Hauptmann u. Kp. Führer, later Major u. Abt. Kdr. Schulz. 4/52
2. Hauptmann u. Kp. Führer Saeger. 2/605

Quiclkly looking through all Kompanies of Fla/MG Btl. 52 were independant. During the Polish campaign 4/52 served under 14 Armee with 2 Inf.Div. (mot.).
It then served as part of 12 Pz.Div. as 3 Kp., Pz.Jäg.Abt. 2.

3 (Fla) Kp./Pz.Jäg.Abt. 383 was annihilated at Bobruisk with the 383 Inf.Div. January 1944.

Inf.Fla Bt. 821 was formed Nov. 1944 in Wehrkreis I and renamed Fest.Fla Btl. 821. Jan. 1945 became I/Heeres Flak Brigade 501 under OB West.
