Erkennungsmarke question.

[5thFallschirm.]

Hi everybody,

A while ago I bought a Deathcard from a Luftwaffe member who was killed in the Huertgenwald, todat I visited his grave in Huertgen, and on the namelist in the cemetery I found him back. On the list his EKM no. is mentioned as beeing; L 048189

My question is what the EKM means, perhaps Fallschirmjäger?
He was killed in the vicinity where the 3.FJD fought, therefore my question.


Thank you in advance,

Nick

Nobody?

[1201]

There is no information about this number.
It can be any LW formation.

Ok, thank you for your reply.

Erkennungsmarke vs. Feldpostnummern

I would think this is most likely a Feldpostnummern. The information for that particular fpn is:

48189
(2.1.1940-11.3.1943) Stellungsbatterie (K) 344,
dann Stellungsbatterie (Küste) 344,
(23.4.1944-24.11.1944) 25.5.1944 gestrichen

It is certainly a FP nummer.
