Feldpost number 21628 - Anyone know what unit?

[vonStubben]

I have a death notice letter to the wife of a fallen soldier that was written by the soldiers Company Commander. This units Feldpost number was 21628, dated February 20, 1943, stating their location as "north of Kursk" and that the fallen soldier he was writing about was buried in the "Heros cemetary at Trossna". This soldier was a member of a heavy Pak. (s.Pak.) detachment and was KIA by a direct hit from a Russian Tank round.

Anyone know what unit this was exactly?

Thanks,

Chuck
