    Wehrpaß -Translation needed

    Hi can anyone translate this? It's concerning a guy from the 132 Flak regiment, part of the 14th Flak division. I think its relating to his death from being caught in an Air-raid, but not sure. Also whats the second date 41 or 42 ?
    Any help appreciated.
    cheers

    Looks like '42. Otherwise, it describes his unit's campaign service as "Verteigiung der Bodenorganisation, Marinestuetzpunkte u(nd) milit(aerische) Anlagen im bes(etzten) Gebiet (Nordfr(ankreich) gegen engl(ische) Angriffe' or"defense of ground personnel, naval bases and military facilities in the occupied area (Northern France) against English attacks."

          Many Thanks. I was way off the mark with that one.

            Can somebody please explain the word bes(tetzem) ?

            I've looked and can't translate this word. Could it not be bes(atzung) meaning garrison or crew. which would make sense ?

            Yes there is further reference to him. I think he met his end on 20-6-42 I can't make out this entry other than Tod (death) I'm sure someone will help me with this further.
            Cheers

                  Many thanks to Ian for clarifying the word Bes(etzungs)
                  I've made a note incase it ever comes up again. Thanks also for the info on his death.

                  Not many entries in this wehrpaß as his life was cut short. His name was Konstantin Scháffeler , joined in Ravensburg Oct 1940 after some R.A.D service, promoted to Gefreiter Nov 41, no award entries. Here is his portrait.

                    Hi Ash,

                    "Can somebody please explain the word bes(tetzem) ?"

                    Could you not read my comment in Post 3, where you can see the correct transliteration?

                      Hi Uwe
                      Yes indeed you were correct, apologies. I was fixed on the spelling in post 4.

                      Thanks

                        The correct writing is "Besatzungs Gebiet Nordfrankreich"

                          Dear Gerdan,

                          "The correct writing is "Besatzungs Gebiet Nordfrankreich""

                          Definitely not. Please compare the B in "Bodenorganisation" with the b in "bes.".

                          But for the wrong transliteration "Bes(etzungs)" it is correct.

                          Uwe
