Unknown Signals Unit

[hucks216]

Hi,
I have recently seen a soldbuch to a member of a unit - Trager Frequenz Komp. Does anyone know what role these units had in the Heer Signals branch, as the translation doesn't really give any clues? And is it true that only 6 such units existed?

"Trägerfrequenz" means "Carrier Frequency".

In the first time it was installation of wire based communication systems (telephon, telegraph), later they had also several wireless systems.

The "Bautrupps" had to install the basic installation and infrastructure like masts, wire channels and so on, and the Trägerfrequenz groups have made the more specific electrical installations.

That's great. Many thanks for the information.
