Help with FP #12031

[Hank C.]

Hi all,
Have received a small grouping of documents today, and need help with FP #12031.
It's on 2 docs, the first dated 21-23 December 1940, and the second time 12 May 1942.
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi Ian,
Yup, I was surfing through Lexikon there myself. Not much about it.

Some more documents from the guy put him at Truppen Uebungsplatz Wischau in early/mid 1944, as a Fahnenjunker candidate (I believe) at Lehrgang 4 for Panzertruppen.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot to go on right now, but I'm putting what little info I can together, to make it easier when I decide to pass the grouping on.

If anybody else has info on this, I'd appreciate it!

thanks again
Hank
