Luftwaffe Feldpost NBr Help

[Tom Kibler]

Just picked up a neat Luftwaffe Camo helmet with this F.P. NBr in it:

L34973

Any help identifying a unit? Thanks guys - I'm sure you can help me out.

Adrian,

Thanks. "gestrichen" - What does that mean?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Tom, no idea! I think it means "painted" ? But I don't understand the context, as my German is very limited. The info is taken from a CD I have on the subject.

Cheers, Ade.
