                            Nice one !
                            Interesting to see that he was first in Bodenpersonal before to be transfered to army. When he was in Lw, he was in north of France (see p. 32 : Einsatz in Nordfrankreich) : it explains the stamp of Luftgaupostamt Brussel who controled all Lw units of northern France and Belgium (between the Seine and the Rhine).

                              From March - August 1943 was with Fliegerhorskompanie A 218/XII which was located at that

                              time (11.42 - 4.44) in Toulouse-Francazal /France.

                              From there he was tranferred to the army.
