13459
(Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) Stab II Polizei-Regiment 1 Gruppe Eberhardt,
dann Stab II Infanterie-Regiment 213,
(28.4.1940-14.9.1940) Stab II u. 5.-8. Kompanie Infanterie-Regiment 243,
(15.9.1940-31.1.1941) Stab II Schützen-Regiment 394,

(7.11.1944-Kriegsende) 22.12.1914 gestrichen.

The "e" is for 8. Kompanie, I believe.

info

Where do you guys find this information?

[Larry deZeng]

Kannapin, Norbert. Die deutsche Feldpostübersicht 1939-1945. 3 Bde (I – III) (Osnabrück: Biblio Verlag, 1980-82).

It was also on a CD-ROM, but both the books and the CD are now OOP. You can fish around on the internet, but when you find them they are very expensive. When the books were new and available 25 years ago, they were around $100 x 3 = $300 for the set. They are 3 and 4 times that now in the used market.
