    Help Needed with Feldpost-Nummern for Afrika

    Santa brung me a Soldbuch from a guy who served in Afrika, but aside from one assignment that is entered, there's not much in there except some Feldpost numbers. Can anyone tell me which units these were? Thanks & Merry Christmas to you all!
    Regards,
    Doug Nash

    The Feldpost-Nummern is question are:

    Feldpost Nummer 23799 10 June - 8 July 1942
    Feldpost Nummer 45298 21 May - 10 June 1942
    Feldpost Nummer 39851 June 29 - August 28 1941
    Feldpost Nummer 59790 Sept 43?

    Doug,

    I will try and help you out here, quickly looking through my references the first two I can't directly tie up with your dates but the later there is a tie, hopefully this is some help to you. Are you sure about the first two numbers? Any chances of any scans?

    23799 the only info I could find is:-
    (16.2.1941-18.7.1941) Kriegslazarett Neapel,

    45298
    (30.7.1941-28.2.1942) Frontleitstelle Brindisi,

    39851
    (28.2.1941-29.7.1941) Kriegslazarett Tripolis,

    59790
    (12.3.1943-7.9.1943) Stab u. 1.-4. Kompanie Reserve-Panzergrenadier-Bataillon 50,
    (8.9.1943-22.4.1944) 4.10.1943 Stab u. Einheit Reserve-Panzergrenadier-Bataillon 50,

        DAK Soldbuch

        Simon,
        Thanks for the help - the guy was actually assigned to Schutzen-Regiment 155 of the 90. Leichte-Afrika Division, but I was trying to sort out when his service there occured - because of injuries and such, it looks like he served in Africa at least twice, and probably also fought in Italy as part of the 90.Pz.Gren.Div. when it was rebuilt after the first division was destroyed. The problem with Soldbuchs, of course, is that it can be difficult to track when a person was assigned to a particular unit.
        Your Feldpost Number identities appear to have been dead-on - again, many thanks!
        Regards,
        Doug Nash

            One more thing....

            Simon,
            This guy was wounded 9 Sept. 1944 by artillery fire (31a) and was treated by Feldlazarett (mot.) 922 - have you any means to identify where this hospital unit was located? Tessin doesn't list field hospitals --- but it would help to nail down whether or not he was assigned to the 90.Pz.Gren.Div. & served in Italy.
            thanks again --
            Regards,
            Doug Nash
