Luft Flak Regiment 64

[tenoriodj]

I am hoping Larry or someone else here can share with me any additional info on Flak Regiment 64, especially in the earliest time, around 1937.

All I could Google up was http://www.ww2.dk/ground/flak/flargt64.html

I am trying to research a Luftwaffe Leutnant E. Welk, of a unit abbreviated I./64 and 4./9. So far I take this to stand for I Abt. 64 Flak Regiment and the other numbers some reference to Kompanie or Batterie?

The officer´s name is not listed in the published 1945 Luft Rangliste or in the unpublished 1944 one.

Thx

Hola Gustavo!

I checked my data base for an E. Welk but without success. The only WELK I have is this guy and he is not your man, of course:

WELK, Wilhelm. 21.10.44 Hptm., appt Staka 5./NJG 101 (to 15.03.45).

The Flak units used Arabic numbers for their batteries, so "4./9" appears to be a very abbreviated designation for 4. Batterie/Flak-Rgt. 9.

Very few Flak records survived the war, and those few were mainly fragmented miscellaneous records scooped up by the Allies as they moved forward on the various fronts. I have been through all of these surviving records and there was no folder or file for Flak-Rgt. 64 or any of its Abteilungen. What survived is in NARA WashDC RG 242, T-321 and T-405. BA-MA also has a Signatur of some 550 folders of Flak-Abschußberichten (RL 4? RL 5?), but these would not provide answers to your questions.

Sorry.

Thanks Larry, lets see what BA-MA can come up with

Hope those tornadoes dont reach your area

Thanks for the thought, Gustavo! Fortunately, they seem to be north of us. We got hit last year, so I guess it's someone else's turn this year.

So when a tornado hits, your uniforms go into the shelter and your wife stays above ?

[Larry deZeng]

Uniforms? I haven't had a uniform on since October 1968 and I am sure they don't fit anymore.

The only thing I collect is information.
Yes, I am, and 10 years before that, too. I was in charge of a communications-intelligence center at Korat RTAFB in Central Thailand. Why? Were you there?
