Does anyone have any info on this unit/ It is not on Lexicon or any other sources I can find. Thanks,

[Ian Jewison]

I was a little confused with this unit as I couldn't find it initially either, so I took a look at the Feldpost number.

38137
(Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) 1. Panzer-Fernsprech-Kompanie Korps-Nachrichten-Abteilung 80,
(28.4.1940-19.9.1940) 1. Kompanie Korps-Nachrichten-Abteilung 80,
(1.10.1940-27.2.1941) 2. Kompanie Panzergruppen-Nachrichten-Regiment 2,
(30.7.1941-28.2.1942) 2. Kompanie Panzer-Armee-Nachrichten-Regiment 2,
(1.3.1942-7.9.1942) 1. Kompanie Panzer-Armee-Nachrichten-Regiment 2.


It is on Lexikon, of course initially it was a Korps signals unit then became a Panzergruppe unit.

Thanks Ian, the old Fernsprecher trick came into play. Those silly Germans!
