    Fpn. 35858

    Hey guys,

    I thought there was a feldpostnummer website on here somewhere but I can't find it.

    Can anyone help me out with this FPN?

    35858

    Thanks!

    Hi Rose - there is a pinned thread in the Paper section. It explains the use of Feldpostnummern and indicates it is best to provide a date if possible because they were sometimes used by more than one unit.

            Thanks Ian,

            It seems to be a mystery to a few people.

              Rose,

              Are there any other entries in the Soldbuch for the same time? Also, what was his previous units?

              From what I can find it was a convalescent unit:

              Grenadier-Regiment D 1103

              Formed 20.5.1944 in Denmark as Genesenden-Regimentsstab for Battalions:

              D IV Hilleröd
              D XI Helsingör
              D XIII Hornbaek

              Stab lastly in Kopenhagen; 7.5.1945 formed Grenadier Regiment 594 of Division Seeland (328).


              Incidentally the suffix C will put him in 2 Kompanie, Bataillon D XIII.

                Ian he was with the 212 VGD.

                Here are the scans I have. I don't have the soldbuch in hand yet.

                  I suppose I should've waited until I had it in hand to ask, but I was curious.

                    Thanks Ian,

                    All that I could find for Rose was :

                    FP Nr. 35858 belonged to Stab u. 1.-4. Kompanie Bataillon D XIII.

                    And that didn't say a thing to me.

                    Great to see that you were able to find much more to that FP NR. and that there is a unit for it now, as Bataillon D XIII. didn't say much.

                    Rose when your man was stationed in Denmark in early January 1945, he couldn't be fighting at the German-Luxemburg border during the battle of the Bulge. (something I wrote to you earlier, but I didn't know where Bataillon D XIII. was stationed.

                    But I know that you liked that Soldbuch anyway.

                    yours friendly

                      Well, I do thank you fellas.

                      It's unfortunate this guy didn't fight in the Battle of the Bulge, but as you said Eric.. I already knew that from our previous conversations, and I do indeed like the soldbuch.

                      It's good to know where he was at the time of the battle. I think it strange for him to be training elsewhere as he was already a combat vet, but maybe he was getting a break. He died only four months later

                      Here is the full picture.

                        He was buried in the Hospital Cemetry no doubt.
